Topped up Wife's motor (Golf 1.9tdi 105) this morning with 5W30 but noticed after it's not VW spec - Castrol Magnatec.

Used maybe 1litre if not less, should be OK?

Cheers

Cheers, that was assumption I got from google.

Ordered up the correct stuff from Opie - 20% off today (JUBILEE).

Thanks for the tip Malc, just bought 10 litres of Gulf Competition 5W-40 for £71 inc delivery. Bargain.

Oil pressure sensor failure twice in 3 weeks

Oil pressure sensor failure twice in 3 weeks

JezHarris · 13 June13 Jun

Hi. I was recovered to a dealership 3 weeks ago after going into limp mode EPC and getting an Oil pressure sensor failure warning. A blade type fuse was replaced and car returned to me. After 3 weeks and 1000 miles i had identical issue and car had to be recovered again. Prior to all of this the engine had suddenly developed a very noticable clatter - initially under load but after the first sensor issue its present all the time. Skoda wont look into this unless i pay £1500 for strip down only

EPC Light and Stop Start Error

EPC Light and Stop Start Error

umar1arda · 18 April, 20251 yr

Yesterday, on the way back from work, my car suddenly had a stop start error and the EPC light came on, the car functions completely normal and there's no difference in how it was driving before... My friend used a obd2 scanner which showed no fault codes on the ECU, cleared it and the light and error went away, I drove a bit and there are no lights or errors on the car, I was just wondering what could have caused this as online it says anything from turbo waste gate or actuator problems to a

I have a couple of hatchback accessories to give away

Tankdave · 12 June12 Jun

One is the reversable boot floor, carpet one side and a sort of plastic the other. Both items are in great condition too Second is a rear sun screen, it's a mesh material in a metal frame that you clip inside the hatch window, it keeps out a ton of heat and you can take it out for winter, you can't see into the car also. My 280 had tinted side windows but the rear glass was not done. Both are huge and would be prohibitively awkward to post. If you want either you WILL need to come to Swindon.
