Said the actress to the Bishop, ooo-errrr! 🤣

I've a feeling in the back of my mind that some of the Quantum oils are made by Fuchs. And that Fuchs Titan GT1 LL IV might be the same (or very similar) stuff: https://www.autodoc.co.uk/fuchs/13637012 Recall this from when I had a Mk2 Golf 16v, and found out that Quantum Silver was actually Fuchs Titan in a different dress. Only mentioning this coz I'm showing off that my memory might not be as bad as most people think it is Gaz

Me too. Think I preferred them (Shhh, don't tell Rob) G

Holy thread revival Batman! Three posts in nine years - you go steady there MP, pace yourself 😁 G

I thought of you George, when I was in Weymouth Tesco yesterday as Mr Corsa 1.7 CDTI grappled with his box of Carlsberg in a charging bay (which someone was waiting for): I dunno what was wrong with him, there were plenty of Blue Badge bays he could've abused instead, notwithstanding the car park was perhaps 1/3 full, and awash with free 'ordinary' bays. On the other hand, next to him was Mr I got the dirtiest Zoe and can't park straight, who had the right idea as he put his car on charge, got his new Brompton Sparticle out of the boot and went off for a ride: I do find supermarket car parks quite entertaining at times.

I'm sorry to report that three of my local VAG main dealers all get up to this kind of shenanigans. Not just them though, an MOT only place I use failed a previous car for front brake pads being 'below 1.5mm', when all four were above 3mm. I changed the pads anyway to save any further argument, but took the old ones in just to embarrass them. Sad fact of life I'm afraid. Gaz EDIT: Just found my post from last September in the 'What annoyed you?' thread: 'The Polo's in for an MOT & service today. VW 'strongly advise'.... 'urgent' work required as the rear brake pads are down to '... 4mm, and 80% worn'. Comment made about the discs being 'scored', but when I last looked at them (last week due to a puncture) there was nothing untoward and just expected wear. £320 quoted for discs and pads, and £974 to replace the thermostat housing, which has some 'residue', but is '..not actively leaking..' - we've not had to top up the coolant at all in five years of ownership, and this is the third year that residue (same amount) has been an advisory 🙄'

If it only starts around 60mph, could it be a wind noise? Does it change according to revs or gears? Is it still there when you open windows? (possibly hard to confirm at 60!). Does it change on overrun, decelerating, braking, cornering? Gaz

Maybe we could have a Banned Leaver Log, to compliment the Banned User Log 😁 The 'Oh, no you don't' list, aka the 'Hang on just one doggone minute/sonny Jim' feature. Taking a break sounds a much better option 👍 G

Seriously? 😳 Illegitimi non carborundum! Gaz

Hello & welcome Jo Nice looking Mk3, in the right colour too 😎 Gaz

Hello Tommy I had a mate back in the very early '80's with a CZ, although I'm sure it was a 250, not a 350. Quite a cool bike, with a very distinctive engine sound, particularly on overrun IIRC. Gaz

Hello Coatsey That's a good line up 👍 Gaz

Hello & welcome Lids What happened to the car - did you come unstuck, or are you just fixing what others did? Gaz

Hello dayos5 Can't help with your wiring query, but if you post the same question in the Superb Mk2 sub-fora, you're bound to get more replies than you have here. Gaz

Agree with toot and varooom. Why not check the oil. Provided the level's right and it's oily - as in not like black rainwater, or molasses (gloopy), or has swarf or glittery bits in it, then simply reset the warning to stop the reminder. Then plan to have it serviced when the year is up, ask them to ensure the correct oil is used, and noted, and that the service regime reminder is set to what you expect it to be. Yearly/10k would make sense. Gaz
