Are the spark plugs listed in the link Platinum Plugs or just standard NGK ones?

If not does anyone have the NGK part number for Platinum plugs can only find the standard plug part number

My fuel cap does not lie!   :grin:

It says the same all round I think 1.9 bar or something.  It doesn't say more PSI in the fronts though.  I have 205/55/16s.

What should it be?

I want to get a pic of mine as it definitely reads 1.9 front and back with 2 people and a bag!

Is my filler cap from a non-GTI Golf then?

I have a 2.0 engine not sure if that's different in terms of weight to you 1.8T drivers.

How much oil do they take? I'm going to change the oil in my 1.8 non turbo soon.

"The 1.8T will take 4.35 litres of engine oil."

 As the non turbo is essentially the same engine its the same amount of oil   :wink:
