I just call up frf Volvo and get it from there
sweet, i wasnt sure you see the vw vr6 was very piccy with things like plugs and leads and i found out the hard way haha. ill get on this soon then give it a month to make sure she's a good-un and i might start modding her. ive come to realise im not gonna be able to afford a half decent manual R, so with the money left over from the §§§§rat when it sells ill drop her 40mm, R front bumper, cd changer, few engine mods and a full respray i think. i hope lol thanks again guys
how much oil will i need for my t5, ive searched but getting conflicting answers cheers
Sure they take about 6 litres. (could be wrong tho as I don't pay for my oil) :)
[QUOTE=no1tosh;582939]how much oil will i need for my t5, ive searched but getting conflicting answers cheers[/QUOTE] Honestly call FRF or MRG and they will tell you, 90% of the time I will just call the main dealer at least you know there info will be correct, or should be lol.
ya that sound more like it, i keep reading 7 litres!!!!! thats a massive amount for a 5 banger
My s60r takes 5.5 liters with filter change
