cool, thanx again guys, so far its better on fuel than my mk4, im also with you thinking that it should be the ko3s just because of the age, i will have to try and find the engine code to sort it

the oil light is on, but thats the only thing that i can find wrong with it so far, ill be checking that too, any suggestions on what oil to use, thanx again peeps, oh and any recommendations on body kits or styling woluld be cool too  :laugh:

So is this where the K03s comes from to tune up the mk4?

Ko3s is fitted as standard to the later Mk4's (2002-)  :wink:

fully synth 5-30, as for the oil pressure light change the pickup pipe like i said and change the pressure sensor.

s4 or rs4 kits look good, but just decent wheels and a drop and a4s look good. what colour is it? could go for the all black look if its the right colour

Have a look on here buddy for a list of codes

A quick search shows that AEM is a 4.2 block from an Audi A8  :laugh:

BFB isnt a valid engine code either, go on the friggin link I posted and press ctrl+f to search codes on the page. Its really not that hard

Here is a selection of links showing you how to find an engine code
