Hi all Mine is a 66 plate L&K 190 TDI (DCC) It's had misting shock advisories since the first MOT, strangely not every year but hey ho. I'm only 40k miles with COVID and changing jobs, it's such a nice car I decided to keep it rather than change it. Anyway I've noticed a creak going over some bumps now so have decided to change the shocks before the MOT. I'm looking at bilstein B6 as I've heard they are a straight swap for OEM plus better and a bit cheaper. A couple of sites say they are not compatible, why not? I've heard of other superb users using B6 so am I looking at the wrong shock?

My woodburner will burn anything too, doesn't mean it does it efficiently or without damage to the flue or stove. 😉

A quick Google search says BP claim 55-60 cetane plus active detergent. it looks like Costco has the cleaning properties but not the extra cetane, it is cheaper than elsewhere so I will use it when in the area.

Yes it states a cetane of 51, which to me is standard diesel, not premium like BP ultimate. It does state it has cleaners in though.

The Leeds Costco now sells premium diesel. Have any of you used it or have knowledge of it? It says premium but I'm wondering if that's just it's name or is it comparable to Shell and BP's premium? Thanks

That's a shame, it's an L&K and does the light dance at start-up. At least I know now, thanks.

Mine ends in A so I'm guessing it's bad news

Hi, I want to turn HBA and eyelashes on if I can are you able to tell by looking at the pics if I have the camera/ lights to be able to do this?

Thanks, a bit unsure as to original as they are both misting and only done 25k. Will have to look at prices as I know none of them will be cheap.

Am I right in thinking that for DCC there is only 1 option of shock to change to?

Hi just to add, iI also have a Motorola phone, decent spec but after checking it's not supported by Skoda. Does anyone have a Motorola phone that connects to AA? I like Motorola as similar to Skoda you get a lot of kit for the money without paying for a premium badge.
