Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Yeah he does but I was curious about Fuchs vs liqui moly as I haven't heard much about it.

    • Fuchs is a good oil. Been around for years.

      If your tdi has a dpf then you need a 507 spec oil. Neither oil you mentioned reaches that spec. The oil Umai linked to is the correct one.

        I'd use LiquiMoly, before the Fuchs.

            Why is that Miro? LiquiMoly have a higher flash point?

              • On a side note, I'm after liqui moly top tec 4200 which meets 504/507 standards. Anyone know Where's a cheap place to buy it from? Looked at autobarn and it is retailing at close to 110 bucks. Thanks

                • That's bloody trade price for it!

                  I guess they're using it as a loss-leader, hoping you'll buy the oil filter they've put 200% mark-up on

                    • It's good stuff. Been using it in customer's cars for 3 years.

                      Would recommend the 4100 in the later TSI motors though. Seems to slow down the rate of oil consumption considerably.

                        • TDI is 4200 only.

                          Petrol engines can run 4100, or 4200.

                            • Guys, just a heads-up for anyone who is thinking of ordering from the above mentioned website. It seems like the seller's website is not really secure. Last week, I bought liquimoly oil from them and checked out using PayPal. Today, I received a genuine looking email from "PaVpal" requesting me to log on and complete a form as my account was accessed from Singapore which was not true. If you click on the link it takes you to pavpal and not the real PayPal website. Just be careful.

                              • Hi gabbaking,

                                I run Automotive Superstore could you please email us on contact@automotivesuperstore.com.au or PM me your order number so we can look into the matter.

                                It's very likely that it was just a coincidence, if you could also send me the email i can get Paypal to investigate.

                                Thanks!
