Technical hello, i have golf vr6 2.8,1994,when i bought this car,there were no instruction book for it,my question is: what kind of oil engine that i can use for my car? what kind of antifreeze and coolant that i can use for it? what kind of benzine that i can use for it? i am using benzine 95. I WILL BE WAITING YOUR ANSWER,THANKS.

Wiring, schematic, electrical diagrams, torq settings, parts info, error/fault codes, full assembly/dissembly, service instructions and a lot mor eetc are basic contents of these online books they here on this website https://big-manuals.com/

you have automatic trans ?then any good quality trans fluid will work you can use systhic also ,you have engine and filter for the motor 10-30 ,5-30 or syn works well ,rear end oil or syn.and if its diesel engine ,also ask you volkswagon dealer and go by what they say to install there is also power steering oil for that and in your owners book it will tell you what to use and brake fluid also in the owners book

I'd replace the crank speed sensor .. you can get them on fleebay for 20$.. kind of a PITA to see but it's right under the oil filter. I have a 96 golf gl and have fixed just about every GD thing on the car, but i love it so i will keep fixing it.. This took care of the problem for me

If you are a diesel use 15w40 or anything approved for diesel.If you are a gasoline engine 10w30 is suitable or 10w40 or even 20w50.

Oil lights do not reset.

Your Golf either has low oil level/pressure or the oil pressure sending unit/wiring is bad.

You need to immediately check your engine oil level. The instructions are in your manual.

If the oil level is low, DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR! YOU WILL DAMAGE THE ENGINE! Add oil as instructed in your manual and the light should go out within 20 seconds or so after you start your car. You will then need to check for leaks and/or find out why your oil was gone.

If the oil level is normal, you need to get the car to a mechanic to see if the problem is the sending unit or an actual oil pressure problem. Since at this point you cannot be certain, I recommend that you have the car towed to avoid engine damage that will happen if your oil pressure is indeed low.

Hello there
It all depends what is the temperature of the oil ,what gear are you in?
Ususally when you start the Porsche it should read higher because the oil is thicker.After the engine warms up the reading will go down.
At idle you can see almost no press,which is normal(warm engine).
From the Porsche technical book:
"Oil pressure at90oC oil temperature and speed of 5000 rpm -- bar---approx.5,0"

don't think so.

Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r5932051-check_engine_light_check. These are generic instructions. If you get stuck or need specific instructions for your car, please get back to me with model, year and engine info.

a light tapping noise is quiet normal .Use a flushing oil before you change the oil and filter.then use 10/40 semi synthetic(as recc by VW)when engines at operating temp run at 3500 fo 30 secs,this will "charge" the hydraulic tappets,a cold engine has a valve rattle for about 15/20 secs but if longer then cam followers faulty.normally at 120,000m(roughly)
please leave feedback..

That depends on what climate you live in.

I live in southern British Columbia. it's very mild here all year round and the guy who taught me everything I know about vw's swore by 15w40 diesel grade oil. especially castrols' Tection extra

log on to the "mobil 1" oil site and they will advise you on which oil is spec for your car.
