Hi all,

Can you tell me what is the difference between Castrol Edge and Castrol Edge Professional 5W30?

I believe proffesional is designed for dealerships and contains a uv dye to prove authenticity ,otherwise there identical .

I’d guess no meaningful difference.

Just focus on the Spec to match your car. Handbook should clearly show oil,spec.

or try Castrol

Or forgo the fancy brand name and use the same stuff the main dealers use for a fraction of the price...

Found the specification sheets on the Castrol website:

EDGE

https://msdspds.castrol.com/bpglis/FusionPDS.nsf/Files/38F033FD9BCEFE8080257EF1005E7D2A/$File/BPXE-A46PK9.pdf

EDGE Professional

https://msdspds.castrol.com/bpglis/FusionPDS.nsf/Files/982E28F8D7C7D7F780258191007ECF62/$File/BPXE-AQWPGV.pdf

Note that the VW 504 00/ 507.00 spec that your car likely requires (like mine) is mentioned in the EDGE and not the EDGE Professional.

Looking to buy a vRS TSI - how can I tell the difference between the 227BHP and 242BHP?

Sinbad1900 · 2 hours ago2 hr

I’ve seen two cars on Autotrader, both 2018 and the technical and details in the ads suggest one is 227 BHP and the other is 242. Both appear to be the facelift variant, based on the split front headlights. Is there any other way of confirming the engine BHP apart from relying on the advert contents? Thanks

As title. Alpine i902-OC3 unit. Ideal replacement for an MIB1 Octavia Mk3. Adds wired CarPlay, full comparability with steering wheel controls, and cars standard infotainment features (except telephone button on the wheel). Best to read up about this unit online if interested. Also comes with Canton adaptor box if required. This adaptor was out of stock everywhere when I purchased it, I had to import it from Germany for €220. All relevant cables included. When I purchased it, I wasn’t

Benjamin0000 · Friday at 21:495 days

Hey everybody! I am a proud owner of a 2017 Octvaia 1.8TSI for two months now. Does anybody know what app/website is the best to find parts for your car? (a brake change is shortly due, and would be awesome to have a website which works and finds parts through VIN’s like ETKA). Thanks for the help in advance Benjamin

DPF worries

jtj321 · 12 hours ago12 hr

Hi again. I have a 1.6 tdi My daughter recently had to sell her VW Sharan after the DPF was pronounced dead. At least 2K to fix,probably much more.Her car was low mileage,full service history. Can I protect the DPF on our much older vehicle,are there options if it clogs up? Thankyou

Which OBD is best? 1.6 diesel

jtj321 · 7 hours ago7 hr

Hi again. The service light won't reset using the press the trip method ,also the aircon won't blow out of the face vents despite recalibrating (might be another fault I guess) so Im thinking I'll need to reset the service light with a diagnostic tool Which one though? I should add I've never used one .
