Take the oil back Its the wrong stuff Penrite Enviro+ 5w-30 is approved oil The +extra is not

Or as Brad said the correct Valvoline oil is Synpower XL-III 5w-30.

SCA will also have a Castrol EDge & Shell Helix that are approved 504/507.

Get an OEM or german made filter. Don't trust Ryco

[ashmannnn]

You had a bad experience with a Ryco filter? Where do you buy other ones (apart from a Skoda dealer)?

^ Runautoparts has MANN filters for about $25 which is about as cheap as you will find locally. MANN make the filters for Skoda/VW/Audi.

Genuine are usually cheaper than Ryco anyway.

On an older VW I had, Ryco filters didn't flow as well as OEM spec filters so the bulk of the oil would bypass the filter. Once bitten, twice shy.

As Umai says, genuine Skoda will be cheaper than Ryco anyway. SCA & Repco aren't really your best source of parts for your Skoda/VW.

I'm using UFI air / fuel / cabin filters from ebay and they appear to be OEM suppliers to VW. I think my oil filters are Mann but it might be some other German brand (I bought half a dozen).

Mann filters from Run Auto appear to be good value but even the dealership ones are only around $30 last time I looked.

Just updated my previous post with a link to the oil filter you need at Run Auto Parts. This filter suits the 1.8 and 2.0 TSI engines.

All good advice thanks Bard, Umai and Lucas... I learn so much from these forums

Plugs changed... the NGKs were a little "fuzzy" on the ends.. seems a while since the car saw new plugs.... seems to run a little better now.. just have to wait till 12 January to get the Clutch plates replaced... then it should be all good...
