Guess what, my local ASDA now has full shelves of Mobil,but i do not think it will fly off the shelves any more ,The Buggers have put the price back to £32.

Not a bad price from a Stealer, what make is it, Skoda's own or one of the major oil companies.

For cost ,ease of application and finish you cannot go wrong with Autoglym.

Went into my local ASDA at tea time to buy some more,Sold out of MOBIL ,But the price was still £16 on the shelf strip.

It is VW spec 504.00/507.00 and 5ltrs, not 4 what you get at Halfrauds.

For anybody who changes their own oil get down to ASDA pronto, They have a promotion on MOBIL 1 ESP 5/30, selling for £16.00 for 5lts and £4.25 for 1 ltr.

Do you remember a German make of filters called KNECKT,not sure about the spelling,They were taken over by MAHLE.

Get yourself down to your local ASDA, You will be able to buy MOBIL 1 ESP 5w/30 vw spec 507.00 for£32.00 for 5ltrs.

I would say that experience and reputation counts for a lot, They make filters for the VAG group and they are manufactured in Austria, not China.

I think it will look like a boy racers if you do.

I see OPIE OILS have a promotion on MAHLE filters, I did not realise they sold MAHLE till i got a email off them,best filters i have used.

I have not seen chrome fittings,where can you buy them from.

My mate at work has a 02 plate passat sport which has a carbon effect finish,looks very smart on black door cards, I wonder how much they cost from VAG ?.

You need a oil that meets VW spec 507.00, Get yourself down to you local ASDA, they sell MOBIL 1 ESP 5/30 5ltr for £32.00 which is one of the cheapest prices around for a quality oil,not sure how much they charge for a LTR.

Try ASDA, they had Mobil ESP 1 5/30 vw 507.00 spec for £32.00, you will be lucky to get it cheaper, As for the oil filter go to your local factors and pick up a european made filter such as FRAM or MANN for about £5 or £6 quid. Make sure the filter has the 2 rubber "O" rings in the box, Last time i went snooping around Halfrauds, They were charging almost a tenner.

I think the estate looks a lot better than the saloon,Smashing colour,and the picture of the dog is SUPERB, reminds me of the nasty little bugger from MAD MAX 2.

Top tip that has worked for me, If you open the bonnet and look to your right from the offside wing ,there is a gap where you can see the plenum chamber, I spray Gunk down there avoiding the Servo and leave to soak for 20 min, I then rinse off with hot water. When i got round to moving the battery, The rubber bungs were clean as a cats arse.

I use HAYNES Manual no 4279 which covers the passat from Dec 2000 to May2005, If the oil is not going to be in long i would use the cheapest 5/30 oil i could get hold of.

I could not agree with you any more Supurbia, If you look after the basics the rest look after themselves.

£20 quid from halfrauds or maybe a bit cheaper from your local motor factors.

Try ASDA, they had MOBIL ESP 5/30 VW spec 504.00/507.00 5ltr for £32.00.

Hi, i debadged my superb using a piece of dental floss doubled over, to get rid of the glue i used a soft rag and white spirit, I then gave the paint work a good waxing,job done.
