bare with me with this one. i went into my local gsf (derby) to pick up a few bits and bobs. they were looking very happy with themselves when i asked the synta silver question. To cut things short. Fuchs have bought silkolene. and aparantly silkolene make synta silver, or now fuchs titan, just branded difffently. well they reckon its the exact same stuff which comes in the sump of new vw's!!!!
