My 580 is displaying a high oil level warning on startup. Oil level is low if anything, below half.

It may have been the oil change i did at 30k, but the rattle and lag have almost completely gone now, 32k.
I used Nulon VW spec 5w30. It will be interesting if it comes back after the scheduled...
Now done 30,000km and the rattle is a lot better. Only does it 50 percent of the time now and i can usually make it go away by a couple of hits of full throttle in a high gear. VW still says its...
I've had 2 Amaroks, 4cyl and V6. Both had Xenon lights. They are really bad for distance. You will definitely need a decent light bar or spots for country driving. 4 cyl is nicer around town, but V6...
Does it have to be a 2door?
Got mine today and the colour is OK, perfect match, but it doesn't work when i used the plug from the switch i had bought that sits next to the gearstick. Same connector but must be wired...
Now available but expensive

I notice Skoda have a 500NM version of the 2L diesel bi turbo in their Koniaq RS. This would be great in the Amarok, so why dont VW offer this motor. The manual V6 is only 500NM.
Having had a 420...
Having owned the 2L for 5 years, the V6 is a lot louder. I need to make a recording for VW, so will add it here if I am able.
Sounds very “truck like” but when it goes away, is smooth and quiet. I...
Just updated my 2015 4cyl dark label with a Highline 580 after 200k trouble free kms.
Yes, lots more power but it has a very loud diesel rattle at light throttle. My 4cyl was never like that. Its a...
Can someone give me an idea of when the rear brake shoes need replacing on my 2L Amorak Auto highline. I have done 150,000km, so starting to think they may be getting low. No off-road use however and...
Cleaning out some stuff and I have a Mk1 tailgate and standard exhaust system - free. Pickup in Queanbeyan
The tailgate is black, I bought it as as GTI item, but it's just a standard one with a GTI...
I have a couple of cracked dashes you can have for free. You might be able to do something with them . I can take some pics if you are interested. Also a reallly bad rear seat - from a swallowtail...
This is my car and its still available. I have had some interstate interest, but it needs a bit of cleaning up for rego and thats a bit hard from interstate. Tyres are very low and flat, but i have...
I probably have a couple of mk1 seats if you still want them. Free if you want to come and get them in queanbeyan
Hi Bec
I have a white 4dr Mk1 5 sp, 2L if you are interested. Motor is a bit smokey though, not sure why. No rego and minimal rust, a bit around taillights and one A pillar. Still have 1.6 & 4speed...
The Amorak bi xenon lights are very poor on high beam. Does anyone know how to upgrade them? I would think that a Q7 would have better high beam, or a Golf R, otherwise they are just decorative. I...
I have a 76 LS chassis/wreck, always lived around Yass/Queanbeyan/Canberra, but was rear ended a while ago. Guaranteed no rust in anything, so that piece is as good as new. You can have the lot for...
You won't get better value than Lima's GTI. You couldn't build a replica for that price, though can't vouch for its authenticity.
I have a white 77 4 door with smokey 2e motor with free original 1.6, no rego though and 2E not ever registered. Flies, but haven't driven it for a while, $2500. In Canberra though. Wouldn't t take...
Just put a 1.8 in it, super simple and will give you plenty of performance boost.
Did you use shorter springs to lower it or coilovers?
Wasn't that the site for the pits when Canberra had the V8 races?
Lucky to find one here, UK is your best bet
