    5w 40 oil

    F6HAD, my car is just over 200k km. The temperature range in Bulgaria is quite wide - in the winter it might get as cold as -20C and in the summer it would jump to +40C. Now for the turbo What I meant was that in the beginning the thicker oil put pressure and wear on the turbo and it was...

    5w 40 oil

    My turbo is definitely whining (siren-like), not whistling which as F6HAD said is normal. As for the oils my uneducated guess is that 5w40 adversely affects the engine (at least mine it has) - when I bought the car she was quieter and no turbo whining but that was before I serviced her with...

So now I am deliberating whether to just ignore it or dump the LED bulbs and revert to the old ones. What worries me is that just before I stopped at the gas station the VSA light also...

    Where does your clutch engage?

    It seems that on most of the diesels the biting point is low so I might not have anything to worry about. Anyway is there a way I can adjust this cruise pedal switch and change the clutch fluid myself or I have to go to the workshop?

    Where does your clutch engage?

    First off - I hope I can explain myself clearly enough for you to understand. Today I drove a facelift 2.2 tdci and I found out that its clutch feels and behaves quite differently from mine. What I mean - when I'm in 1-st gear and releasing the clutch it engages (not sure if that's a correct...
