Title: Why now should it sound so noisy
Post by: teash on 03 July 2006, 22:58

After buying my mk4 I thought i`d do the decent thing and give it an expensive oil change (even though it has FSH) but since the oil change it rattles like a snake on start up. So have I put the wrong type of oil in (castrol edge) or being an imported car should I have opted for the longlife option oil????

make sure you used the right spec oil which is 505-500.  that would be on the bottom of the castrol oil can.    check this as soon as possible as you could be causing serious engine wear :sad:

Cheers for that Aidy, oil spec says its 505-01, which is what it says in the handbook as well. So is it the right oil for the car or not?
