Yes, all posts are adverts It hasnt baffled me, but to many who use the forums that you also post on, it would be. But equally it would place that concern in their minds that the gear oil in their cars, which is more than likely fine, needs to be changed... oh but where to buy such unicorn oil from..... ahhhh a handy link, spot on.

So it hasnt baffled you but you assume it will baffle many others. Why is that? Why would you understand it better than anyone else?

I have tried to make it as uncomplicated as possible, but if people are still confused then I urge them to please ask about the points they are confused on and I will do my best to answer them.

I have re-read my post and I cannot see any scaremongering in it, please point out to me where in the post it does that? For those that dont have any shifting troubles then it is purely for general knowledge and many dont have the VX220 as the only car in the family. For those that do have shifting problems (and not vx220 specific) it could help to point them in a direction.

And I have not gone on about any such unicorn oil, just the difference in viscosity between ones that are readily available in the market from many different suppliers.

Do you actually have anything to add to this thread with regard to the original topic?

Cheers

Thanks for posting. The wife's Seat Ibiza FR 1.8T gearbox is a bit notchy going from 1st to 2nd above 4k rpm. Lots of advice seems to be to change the oil. Do you know if this is a common problem?

Yes this is quite a common problem, VAG have made a shift to recommending a 75w oil to help combat this, amongst other reasons.

Cheers

I think the first post really has baffled you, sir.

Oilman recommended thinner oil, snake oil fits the spec nicely

I think people are being a bit harsh on Tim. A lot of people peddle their wares on here, myself included to an extent. As long as it's done sensitively I think the forum is generally accepting of it, if you look at how Tim posts on other websites you can see that people genuinely find him useful and value his input. For my part I can say that even my company buys competitor oils from Opie Oils because they are usually the best price and do have a quick stock turn over. They are good at selling oil and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend buying a product from them. Personally I feel their oil recommendations and technical understanding area is weak, but that is because I have access to information that very few people in the industry do (based on the size of my department and the size of our market share, I would say there are about 300 people in the world who do what I do). I still believe the recommendations made are better than the average person on the street, in the pub, in the local garage or in halfords could make. I for one would not like to see Tim or his company chased out of this forum because Opie Oils do operate by providing deals and information to motoring clubs and it does advantage people on the website to have him post.

What? Make fantastic heater upgrades for VX220s?

The timing just stinks a bit imo. It's March, temps are steadily on the up, very cold mornings will be getting few and far between. Same thread in October/November, fair game

[nicollow]

I just leave the car in second all the time. Does me from standstill to about 65mph. It's illegal to go much faster than that in this country. I might change to 3rd as and when I head to Germany.

There is a spelling mistake in the 14th line.

Personally I feel their oil recommendations and technical understanding area is weak

I think that comes accross in the posts and you don't need to be an expert to see it (though i also used to work in a tribology lab). This is why i always jump at oilman's throat on here.

I'd prefer a straight, buy our oil, here is a discount advert. The theory posts which are wikipedia rehashes purporting to be expert views are annoying.

That said, i still buy my oil from opie oils and will continue to do so. The story of the company is a good one, the customer service excellent and would not hesitate to recommend them. (See Bargy, nice things to say too )

I'm not a lab nerd so between Mr Oilmans explianation and discounts combined with Mr Fez Hypothesis (of which I make out I understand 50% of) its all good.
