I really wouldn't be mixing oils, not even in terms of draining one and using another.
Your car has a specified oil type, whatever it is I'd use that (and also specced accordingly)

I went into the boot and got dad to pour water on the back with the hose :P Now i've just given up and I'm putting fillers in every possible spot that looks like it will let water in!

Any one going to watch Mean Streets tonight at 9:30 on RTE ONE? Might be interesting see all the crazy sh*t that happens on the roads without been behind the wheel for once.

Of course they're going to be black! Carbon doesn't bead :P

Polishing them with metal polish means that the carbon won't bake onto the tips so it's a lot easier to clean off.

406 exhaust never goes black, just the back of the car.... You're doing something wrong :pac:

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater

Coming up to a roundabout (a small single lane roundabout) yesterday, I stopped, as you do, to wait to get on to it. I was going straight through (its got 4 exits) and a van was coming on to the roundabout going straight on, or so I thought (no indicator that he was going right). I wasn't taking a chance on it, I had loads of time, and pulled out on to the roundabout to go straight on, but as I did, the van veered around the roundabout towards me to take the 3rd exit. Needless to say I put the foot down to get out of his way, and he absolutely sat on the horn, and made all sorts of lovely gestures towards me, I gave him a good long beep back as I drove away.

I probably should have expected the unexpected and waited to make sure he wasn't going right and just never indicated, so I'm partly to blame, I know that. Especially as I constantly give out about people not using their indicators. What really worried me though, was that this guy obviously believed that it was completely my fault.

I've learned a lesson from it, but he hasn't. I hope he doesn't have to learn the hard way!

Anyone wanna take a stab at what the problemo is here
Going like this for ages, mostly after been driven hard, or when reversing.
The car cut out about 5 seconds after i stopped recording.

Sounds exactly like my Passat TDI when the cam lobes wore out.

You'll need to give details on the car other than it's a 03 G.

Does it even out when you rev it? Is it just the video or it it much louder than normal?


EDIT: Does the exhaust smell normal?

When idle the rev pin doesn't really fluctuate up and down. But when i rev it to about 1500 it runs fine. Yeah there's an awful sulfur smell off it!

Someone banging to get out of the boot :pac:. Or a blowing exhaust...not sure.
