Reply With Quotehow did that Golf R rev like that when it was idle? My car can only rev to about 3-3.5K before the rev limiter thing cuts it off from revving it higher?
and on that note, is there a way to disable that rev cut?

Maybe they were revving in neutral rather than launch control?
I use Liqui-Moly Top Tech 4200

Mi16 Man made a thread and also used the Liqui-Moly. He purchased it from Autobarn in Canberra for $61!!! I purchased mine in Sydney from European Autotech for about $80 - which is the price that Motoractive.com have it. So check out Autobarn first!

Talking of oil how many of you have noticed some oil usage so far? I check mine regularly and hadn't noticed any change until recently, it's only dropped a bit but it is certainly lower. Car has still done less than 4000 kms.

Haven't noticed any... but then I had it changed at ~3000 when I had the Stage 2+ gear installed, and I'm only up to ~6000 now.

My oil prior to getting it serviced last week (8,600kms) was at the lower end of the mark between min/max, which is a less than a litre, from experience witht the Jetta TFSI this is normal.Talking of oil how many of you have noticed some oil usage so far?

I thought the dip stick represents only 1 litre?
