Re: Replacing the P7's what tire is recommended

find one with no blocks as the Pzeros do (mind you the sawtoothing people complain about could of been tracking related so always get a 4 wheel alignment with a hunter machine if possible)

Re: Locking wheel nut is broken - please help!

Re: Hydraulic Lifter Noise when cold - TDI 170

so adding 50% of either of these oil flush additives and leaving it in wont do any harm ? (i just did a oil and filter change to help the dreaded tappet noise when cold) mine only lasts maybe a minute then its quiet but dont like the sound on a cold morning.
thanks in advance :D
