Re: Sump plug washer size please

amer6R, "honestly you can re use the same washer multiple times and it wont leak. its done everywhere". Yeh, you can often get away with that approach, and I have to admit that in my pre-Polo years I used to re-use the sump's copper washer on the Mk3 Golf I had a few times. That Golf used...

Re: Oil recommendations please

Yes, Millers have always made good-quality oils. But for me, I use Mobil 1 5W-30 ESP. Can't go wrong with it, and in the UK it's usually readily available from branches of Halfords.
