Hi everyone,
Just thought I'd say a quick 'hi' before I start spamming your maintenance section with questions!
I've just bought my first A2, a 2000 1.4 petrol SE in a delightful dark metallic green (anyone know what that's called?) - it was pretty cheap, but also a bit broken. It needs quite a bit of love, but I'm looking forward to getting it back to its former glory.
There are loads of things I need to ask (it really does need lots fixing), but four on my mind right now are...

- What is the right grade oil for this engine? Eurocarparts seems to offer a choice, and I don't have a handbook for the car.
- Where does the oil filter live? I can't see it.
- What is the best manual to get? I know there is no Haynes one - any chance of a recommendation?
- Where oh where can I find a set of alloy wheel centre caps that won't require a mortgage? I see quite reasonably priced sets on eBay, but they're described as being 147mm diameter, and my wheels would need 140mm diameter caps. The two broken ones that came with the car have a part number of 8Z0.601.165 B
