Title: Engine Flush - Kind of urgent.
Post by: Agreeable Slick on 08 June 2005, 11:03

Right i am going to do a quick overhaul on the engine today get it cleaned out and ready for a lot of summer running around to various places.

Thing is i am not sure about whether to flush the engine or not. It was rebuilt about 56k ago and i gave it a oil change about 2k ago. I have heard that sometimes there are a lot of problems with the engine when the flush will take away deposits that are actually keeping the engine from springing a leak (yes i know that the engine will be shot if thats true)

I just want to know best things to use, I.E. ATF, or if there is something different out there, and a cheapo oil to bang in whilst it is cleaning out after the flush (no one suggest magnatec to me as its a pile of sh!t and cannot really be classed as an oil IMO)

I have the final Oil to go in, just need to pop to a VAG dealer and pick up a non return oil filter then see if i can pick up some nice engine flush for me to use.

Any  help will be welcomed.

I've always used wynn's engine flush, never had any problems, and i've serviced loads of dubs  :laugh:
