• golf driver runs out of steam 1 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  the other funny is that the engine runs better when the ignition is way advenced (ie the haynes says it should be 18 BTDC at 950rpm) but my car runs happiest at about 28 BTDC. I suspect it would run fine beyond this but haven't tried it, I've never heard the engine pink.

• HJ's DT comments on "running in" oil. 23 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  Re the correspondant with Skoda (a 1.9 so presumably a TDi) talking about oil usage and HJ's comment about VAG stopping the use of recycled oil for the running in period. I guess VAG dont use "running in" oil in the PD engines because they need a specific oil spec for sake of the health of the unit injector pumps. Is there is any evidence of high oil consumption with PD engines compared to early non PD TDis that may have had a fill of recycled "running in" oil from new?.
