  1. If you push the anti alarm button on the B post, does the alarm still go off? Thanks. AG Falco
  2. Is the self tensioner working properly? Thanks. AG Falco
  3. Do you have buttons on your steering wheel? They probably wanted your total mileage. Thanks. AG Falco
  4. Bosch BSC1987435002 M5002 Passenger Compartment will fit. Thanks. AG Falco
  5. PM me if you like. Thanks. AG Falco
  6. 57.1 is the inner hole size of the wheel which need to fit tight over the hub. Centre cap part number is 5E0 601 151. Inner diameter is about 51.9 mm. Outer diameter 55.7mm. HTH Thanks. AG Falco
  7. How many headlight bulbs does each headlight unit have? Thanks. AG Falco
  8. I am away for two weeks. But I need to go past Ringwood not long after I come back. PM me if this is OK. ( Private Message ) Thanks. AG Falco
  9. Where in the New Forest? PM me if you like. Thanks. AG Falco
  10. 1.2 TSI 90 2016 89K Miles 5 door manual gearbox. Had from new. £20.00 VED. Tyres last about 30K miles. Last fuel tank 64 MPG Original clutch & battery. Brakes are all original but about 2/3 worn. Had 10 services. 8 Small and 2 big ( including spark plugs and air filters in the big ones every 4th service. ) No oil consumption between services. Never missed a beat. Never broken down. Apart from service parts. Both lower front wishbone rear bushes have been replaced. One had delaminated. N-S-R brake caliper rubber boot over the piston was ripped. Possible impact damage? So cost for parts less than £50.00. Plan to keep long term. I do try to look after my cars. Thanks. AG Falco
  11. some people, not all. Thanks. AG Falco
  12. Any good? Thanks. AG Falco
  13. Yes. No. Only just older than me. 😮 Thanks AG Falco
  14. No. Not easily. There are company's that will check your ECU. But first what codes have you now got? Cheap is Torque Pro. Good for VAG is OBD eleven. I have both. Thanks. AG Falco
  15. GM in the states are having some engine failures and their solution is :- ''After over 28,000 reported engine failures, GM is recommending thicker oil as a potential solution'' From a C5 to C3 oil but the API equivalent. Thanks. AG Falco
  16. If it is a C3 oil then :- ACEA C3''Stable, stay-in-grade oil intended for use as catalyst compatible oil in vehicles with DPF and TWC in high performance car and light van diesel and petrol engines, with a minimum HTHS viscosity of 3.5mPa.s. These oils will increase the DPF and TWC life.'' As apposed to C5 :- ACEA C5''ACEA C5 oils are high performance, lower SAPS lubricants. The primary goal of ACEA C5 oils is increased fuel economy in high performance petrol and diesel engines in passenger cars where advanced after-treatment systems such as Diesel Particulate Filters and Three Way Catalysts are used. HTHS viscosity must be in the range 2.6 to 2.9mPa.s (i.e. low) - typically SAE 0W-20 or 5W-20 and made with Group III base oils.'' The 5W-40 oil I use in the other three cars I run is a C3 VW 502 / 505 oil. This will eventually go in my VW as well after it is three years old. Thanks AG Falco
  17. I have a VW that I bought new in Oct 23. VW recommend a C5 0W-20 oil is fitted. You can also use a C3 5W-30 oil. At the first service in Oct 24 the VW dealer fitted the C3 oil for me. I keep my cars for a long time so the oil I chose is important to me. Details I found were:- VW 504 is a FS LL 5W 30 C3 oil and is better at reducing engine wear with a HT/HS viscosity of 3.5 cP than a C5 oil. VW 508, VW 509 is a FS LL 0W 20 C5 oil has a HT/HS viscosity of 2.6- 2.9 cP. They can improve fuel economy by 1%. Engines using this oil will suffer more engine wear than one using a C3 oil. 5W oil is still a flowing liquid at -30°C. 0W oil is still a flowing liquid at -35°C. Thanks. AG Falco
  18. Agree with above post or see above. Thanks. AG Falco
