Whats the best engine oil for 1.4 TDI 75hp now remapped to 101hp?
Thanks
Thanks
Agreed; I use the latest VW 507.00 spec' 5W30. Although it's a LongLife oil, I change it every 10,000 miles or every 12 months, whichever comes first. Some might say this is a touch excessive, but I do love my A2!
If you're looking to be kind to your engine, you may consider running it with a small quantity of 2-stroke oil (strictly of specification API TC + ISO L-EGC + JASO FC) in the fuel tank. I've been doing so religiously for over a year and am totally sold. Make yourself a cup of tea and sit down for a good read... http://www.a2oc.net/forum/showthread.php?19041-2-stroke-oil-in-diesel-anyone-tried-it

Hi Tom
How small is a small quantity?
Thanks
Danilo
Your 05-reg will have the larger of the two fuel tank sizes, which means you ought to be putting in 250ml of oil for every full tank of diesel.
Cheers,
Tom

I also put about 200ml in mine when I fill up - just makes it a little quieter / also put it in my diesel BMW which makes a massive difference to how smooth it runs - recommended - although my research lead me to use FB grade / not sure of the difference?If you're looking to be kind to your engine, you may consider running it with a small quantity of 2-stroke oil (strictly of specification API TC + ISO L-EGC + JASO FC) in the fuel tank.

Hi Tom
Filled up last night and put in 250ml of Shell Advance VX2. When driving to work this morning the engine seemed noticeably quieter when cold especially, and throughout the day its been quieter because on occasions I've been inadvertently revving it. This didn't happen hitherto! Early days yet so may improve as it continues. Or am I being optimistic?
