find a local VW specialist and take it to them to set it up. should only cost you about £25-30

check back of Performance VW and Golf+ magazines to find local vw specialists

25-30 ? sounds quite cheap, anyone wouldn't happen to recommend a cheap honest VW mech round Londonish way? i don't mind traveling a bit for a good one , im located in Dartford,Erith,Belvedere Kinda area if that helps

Oil wise? wats choice ppl go with on here? was gonna order some today, u guys use Fully Syn?Semi?thin?thick?Mobil?Silicone?

Use genuine oil filters and VW's Synta Silver oil. You can't go wrong with that combination. Bit cheaper from GSF than at the stealers aswell.

I pressume thats simply semi syn? ok , i though most ppl on here would use high performance oils? or are these not really suited to cars of this age? they need thicker stuff ?

Yep, Semi Synthetic. When I first used it the engine ran quieter and smoother. It's the best stuff for the older engines  :wink:

You'll spot it easy enough towards the back of the sump

Did you buy this from some guy in Southampton? My dad was going to go down and take a look at it for me, but it had been sold by the time he rang up.

I got one in the end though. :)
