    Sorry, it was for our 92TSI Golf just coming up to 5 years in March. I’ll give them a call and see what they say. Otherwise I might take it down to one of the VW specialists.

    Thanks for the heads up. Would it be something that I could possibly get it fixed out of warranty? The part itself doesn’t look too expensive but watching the DIY video it involves a bit of...

    I recently had the warning that says “Error, leave vehicle in P position” while driving and from my research it seems to be a common issue overseas. They even had an official recall for a compliance...

    Yeah I’ve also noticed that too. Car runs smoother and it’s quieter at idle as well. I’ve only been using Castrol but I’ll try out Penrite one this time. Just going out for another drive around...

    @Lucas R

    My mechanic might not have had it in stock. He just assured me it’s ok for the car. He has been putting in 5W40 oil in my car for the last two times and car has been running beautifully...

    Yeah I think I’ve been overthinking it. That’s what I thought to myself as well - I’m sure they did. I might look into getting my own oil to supply them next time or just check with them before I...

    That’s a good good idea, too. I didn’t know we could do that. They changed me $102 for 5.7 L GST included so maybe it’s a cheaper one but standard capped pricing anyway.
