Did my 1.8 DRIVER a few days ago with Synta, it runs smoother was cheap aswell. bought a genuine filter aswell.

Took about 4 litres!

i am confused... what do you mean?

I am buying a new filter (Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£3) and 5L of 15/40 (Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£10.08) both plus VAT direct from VW main stealer

15/40 is a bit thick in my opinion i would get a 10/40 personally.
