When we've checked oil on Turbo cars after a MRT Track Day it's generally fairly contaminated by fuel.Cheap insurance to change the oil.
Good quality hi-temp brake fluid is advisable,too.

Good info, I'm doing one in May so will keep that in mind. (Done 5k so far in 2.5mths)

Private non VW ones.

I hear and read from people often about these so called VW days but every time I ask about it, no one ever mentions how or when to get in on the act! Have given up on them!

Guys,
I noticed in the car manual (mfd sub menu Convenience) that on some models you can activate an audible re-confirmation signal when activating the anti-theft.
However it doesn't show in my menu.
Is this something vcds will do, or is it removed for ADS regs?
I also seem to have to keep muting the parking system, doesn't stay muted.
Maybe it resets when ignition is started?
