    Hi again, thanks for the advice, someone told me the temp sensor can play about with fueling, and I have noticed since praying around, the temp gauge hasn't moved at all sometimes, and sometimes it will raise?? Could this cause it, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    first oil change myself advice needed

    Hiya! I done an Oil change on mine last weekend, I used Comma Syner-G 5w 40 in mine! It suggests the sump will take 4.5l of oil, but I would put 3.75 - 4 litres in, run for 30 seconds, check dip stick, then top up accordingly :-) hope this helps Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
