  1. It will be fine, I would leave as is. Cheers, Guy
  2. Normal DOT4 or DOT5.1 will be just fine. The "ESP" fluid to be compatible with ABS etc is just a slightly thinner than normal brake fluid, this is to allow the ESP and ABS to operate fully in extremely cold temperatures, so unless you live somehwere really cold it is not an issue and normal DOT4 or DOT5.1 is just fine. Cheers, Guy.
  3. Depends on various things, how long an oil will last. Use, service schedule, quality of oil, specs of the oil and various other variables. A longlife oil will go the full distance of 20k if that is the set distance/time, a non longlife oil will need to be changed more often. Longlife servicing is ideal if the car is doing long regular mileage, oil likes that. What oil does not like is short, stop/start regular journeys so if the car sees that kind of use you are better off not using a longlife service with the cost of longlife oil and go for fixed servicing every 10,000 or so, or once a year, which ever comes first. Cheers, Guy
  4. As the poster above really. You do not have to, but an annual oil change is good practive for preventative maintenance. Cheers, Guy
  5. Nothing wrong with Bosch, as long as they are the recommended plugs for the vehicle they will be fine. Cheers, Guy
  6. Hi Chris, I will check for you, what year is your Mk2 Fabia? Cheers, Guy
  7. You need a fluid that meets the VW 4000 spec, this is the same as CFH 202. So the CFH 202 from Fuchs will be ideal https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-87379-fuchs-titan-was-pentosin-chf-202-hydraulic-fluid.aspx?VariantID=136406 Cheers, Guy
  8. Looking at our data the NGK 94968 is no more and has been replaced by the NGK 93231 as mentioned above. Cheers, Guy
  9. As others have said Quantum is currently made by Fuchs, so good quality and price. Fuchs have not even done special brews for Qunatum, it is just re branded Fuchs product Cheers, Guy
  10. Up to 110, 115c is fine, and the oil will be fine. As others have said, it will warn you if it is getting too hot and as the engines regulate their own temp if you start getting oil temp warnings then it is a sign of another issue. No warnings, no problems. Cheers, Guy
  11. It does not meet any vag specs but yours is a petrol so no dpf to worry about. It will be fine.
  12. Awesome, thanks for the order Cheers, Guy
  13. Changing it can never do any harm, gear oils do not have to deal with combustion by products like an engine oil so can go a lot longer. They do however shear down (thin) over time with use. We recommend this oil from Fuchs for it https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-976-fuchs-titan-sintofluid-fe-sae-75w-synthetic-manual-transmission-oil.aspx Cheers, Guy
