my 16V expansion bottle is showing cracks, its about 5 years old at most. Thing is the 15 year old ones Ihave and use have bno signs of cracks!
Its not common but its not an unknown fault. If it shows signs be ready to replace it.
Why bother putting diesel oil in the 1.4? Why pay castrol prices unless your getting a 40 gallon drum.
What oil are you currently using? |

I use 10W40, even ran the 206k mile 1.4 on 5W30 for a while, never had any problems.
They were semi/full synth oils.
Comma lite semi synth 10W40 is what I use the most and its very good. 8 quid for 5 litres and comma is a good make. |
