    atf will do the job yep, no better than engine flush product so whatever you have in stock/is cheaper. only thing to worry about with flush of any kind is that sometimes it will clear out any sludge currently holding the oil system together, did a flush on my old 8v lump and the oil cooler started leaking into the coolant :lol:

    That’s very interesting. Believe it or not I’m still toying with the idea of buying the genuine ones for nearly £600. It’s always been my philosophy, that everything has to genuine if possible. But, could you imagine if I did, and on inspection next the VW logo stamp was an INA stamp?!?!?!? Be well chuffed.
