Xsi horrendously down on power. - Matt - 20-04-2012
Yeah there is that, but my car has felt sluggish for a while, it used to stand half a chance against gtis, but now there is no hope
Re: Xsi horrendously down on power. - samass - 20-04-2012

Xsi horrendously down on power. - Matt - 20-04-2012

Re: Xsi horrendously down on power. - Ruan - 20-04-2012
Did you do it when I was down last or no?
If so, that's horrendous...
Re: Xsi horrendously down on power. - samass - 20-04-2012

Re: Xsi horrendously down on power. - Ruan - 20-04-2012
Why not man up and DIY?
It's hardly difficult to take out a sump plug, put on a new washer, undo a filter and put it all back and fill it with oil?
Xsi horrendously down on power. - Matt - 20-04-2012
I know
just cba, incase I do something wrong. I'll probably do it next week after work sometime. How long does it normally take for a sump to drain?
Xsi horrendously down on power. - Matt - 20-04-2012
Should I flush it with anything?
Re: Xsi horrendously down on power. - Ed Doe - 20-04-2012
Shit matt, thats friggin awful.
And go do it yourself you lazy sod! I'll help if you want though. tis a piece of piss to do, really!
It takes about 3mins for the sump to drain!
Re: Xsi horrendously down on power. - Ruan - 20-04-2012
Just crank it over and leave it run to drain out the last of the oil...
Re: Xsi horrendously down on power. - Ruan - 20-04-2012
Don't do what I said in the post above....
Like, REALLY, DON'T do that...

Stick a hosepipe in the top once the oil has drained out and give it a wash out with water*, should do the trick
*probably not a good idea to do this either TBH
Xsi horrendously down on power. - Matt - 20-04-2012
Well if it only takes 3 mins I'll do it at work Sunday haha

Diesel gets oil off things really well, flush it out with diesel.

I heard chucking some sand in the intake polishes and ports your head while you drive!!!
As above may not be the best idea lol
Xsi horrendously down on power. - Matt - 20-04-2012
I can't tell who's bein serious and who is taking the piss. Apart from jonny, everyone knows that's how you port and polish
Re: Xsi horrendously down on power. - Ruan - 20-04-2012
I think every single one of these suggestions apart from - CHANGE YOUR OIL - are a pisstake...
Xsi horrendously down on power. - Jonny b - 20-04-2012
Mine was serious there is a thread somewhere in the interwebzzzzz lol
Re: Xsi horrendously down on power. - Ruan - 20-04-2012
Yeah, some Audi forum, they told a kid to do it, and he ACTUALLY did it...
Lol!
Xsi horrendously down on power. - Jonny b - 20-04-2012
Ha ha yeh!!
Though I don't recommend you do this Matt!! But may I suggest a service
Re: Xsi horrendously down on power. - samass - 20-04-2012
Christ dude, dread to think how many miles you've done since may!
Also, chuck a bit of white spirit down the dipstick, that'll gain you some bhpzzz
