Help needed

Hi, I am abit confused with the dip stick after few times checking the engine oil level..it this considered low? because there is some oil on the max indicator level even after few times swiping it off and re-dip..









Thanks!

That's low-it's on the minimum line. Get it filled asap.

Stuff on the max line is just a bit that's been caught on the stick somehow.

Thanks mate, based on your experience is that a 1L fill up required?

[RENNTAG]

Euro car parts or amazon.

I got 4l for £28 just before Christmas from amazon.

I also got a 1l from asda for £12 if you can't wait a few days for delivery.

Or halfords if you have more money than sense

What about Quantum Platinum? Any direction to get best bargain?

TPS. Ask for GTI Club discount, they may not ask for the card if you're lucky.

With that price or lower?

[MC71]

£37 for the 4Ltr IIRC the last time, about 2 months ago.

Min to max is 1 litre, that could have taken 1 litre with no trouble  

Keep checking your oil regularly, your car (like my old gti) obviously burns some. You don't want to be letting it get that low again. Turbo cars rely on oil to keep the turbo lubricated. . .
