    too bad it's a vag

    meaning that it won't stay 100% for long

    speaking from experience lol
    The car is holding up surprisingly well. Being as old as it is there is something always to do.

      • Chris you are here good. Let's discuss oil. Since the s4 is burning oil it could be a number of things. Probably the turbo. But for now I need an oil change. Since winter is pretty much gone I can switch to a thicker oil.

        I currently run t6 5w40, switching to 10w40 should provide better sealing capacities during cold starts till everything warms up and expands. Or should I make a jump to a xw50 oil?

            10w40 won't help your burning issue, remember that heat makes things contract, not expand.

            The only thing that is going to help you from burning oil is to find the source of said burning and fix it; it's not worth risking your crank bearings or camshafts for cold starting weight. The T6 5w40 is fantastic oil.

            If you're really convinced that oil will help you, switch to a conventional oil. Synthetic is better for lubrication because the molecules of oil are smaller, and thus, can be wicked into combustion and burned off on higher mileage motors.

                      Yessir!

                      Bought a handbrake button and a shifter rebuild kit (replaces worn bushings on the shifter assembly) since it passed smog.

                      Also setting up to buy a steering wheel within a few weeks. Just need to see which Momo hub adapter to buy.

                        Very nice. Glad you got it back out on the road, enjoy driving it around for those of us who are stuck in the salty wasteland

                            I thought heat made things expand while cold made stuff shrink. Except for water? Or is that for all liquids?

                            The owners manual does say I can fill with 10w40 or hell even 20w50

                              Pop off your downpipe and look in there with a mirror. I bet the turbo seals are bad.

                                you dont just pop the downpipe off on this. I need to order a special bent half moon stuby wrench.
