Re: Tdi oil recommendations

507.00 .

I've been using supermarket 507.00 for 9.5 years now in the vunrable 1.9 PD , got 5L at unbelievable prices now and then but that won't happen for a long time now...

Brand is unimportant and so is if it's approved or not.

Re: 1.6 TDI opinions

Undersized engine for size and weight of car .

No point in it especially given the real world 1.6 & 2.0 TDI mpg .

Enjoy the extra torque and driveability of the 2.0 .

Re: Headlights are rubbish

LED do pass MOT behind halogen reflectors as long as beam pattern is good and they aren't a silly blue colour.
