Liam_D Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I use Eneos Nippon oil mate, can get it through Monster Motorsport! Its Epic stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Decent oil dude just check the back of the bottles, if you know what your looking for its easy, carlube oils in motorfactors etc are usually the same specs if not better as like £50 oils, if it meets porsche, VAG group etc specs its good enough for a basic 4pot!

wssoR Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 Well looks like the turbos given up the ghost, pulled in to a car park last night and got out and it was chucking out smoke, smelt really oily so I'm guessing it's the seals on turbo. Really considering selling ATM due to the amount of petrol it's using and now this, anyone got a cheap working hybrid going pm me.Ross Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Dont give up over a simple Turbo rebuild dude! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nazzurro19 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 using more petrol ? what dya expect lol its turbo and your probably boosting everywhere cause its a new car lol my car costs me £35 of V-power to fill up and lasts around 200 miles if i boost all the time/city driving etcor if i drive nicely occasionally boosting i get around 250+ miles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
