Re: [MBZ] OT: VW Golf TDI brakes

My Indy did an oil change when he did the transmission and timing belt. Fuchs I 
think...


Speaking of the transmission, the proper vw manual transmission oil is thin 
like ATF, I'm getting a distinct grinding noise when I go into first if the car 
is moving which my '98 with the same trans doesn't do. That has Redline MTL in 
it. I'm thinking I'll put MTL in this car too and see if it clears up.

A dose of RedLine and an oil change quieted my TDI down quite a bit,  
and smoothed it out, too.  I don't know why better oil would make the  
engine run that much smoother, but I noticed within a dozen miles or so.

I use Mobil 1 T, it's readily available and most of the "rated" oils  
are not.

I noticed that the engine in my 1978 300CD was quieter and ran much smoother 
within a few miles after changing to M1 synthetic.  This was the car that I 
bought in Southern California and drove up to Oregon.  My theory is that the 
engine is noisier since it’s working harder when it isn’t turning as freely.

Yes that was my experience  with my 79 240D 10 years ago when I switched to
M1.
