just found this also from another forums Hey fellas, For the longest time, I've been looking for an alternative ATF to VW's VW TL 52162 (or G-052-162-A2, Esso LT-71141). I've been using Pentosin ATF1 for the last 2 changes. Now I see alternatives entering the market. Here are some info I found on the web...

get one from a scrappy

ok update , just towed around block 5 times no smoke from exhaust , and vehicle trying to run ... but still no good :rolleyes:

Hi Gregers, thank you. it is actually on the dash ,where all the warning lights and info is- the "i" with square round it,i went into info on the menu but no messages on there.it just keeps flashing when i lock the car using remote or manually with the key,but if car left unlocked it doesn't flash! Wondering now is this what drained my battery in the first place and what i can do to sort it. i had a similiar problem , and it seemed like the battery was faulty but it was not, it was the ignition switch (on the other side of the ignition key ) take couling off and undo screw and replace the unit , no probs if it is a battery problem ( you havent got anything plugged into the aux power sockets ??) you could buy a simple solar charger (

i have a seat alhambra p reg , 2 weeks ago driving back from london it cut out sudenly ( almost like fuel had run out, but it had fuel in it ) cranked it over would not start ( glow plug lights come on and go out etc..) got recovered (after 2.30hr wait with rac ) after it got home next day stripped of the fuel filter , filled new filter with fuel tried to start same problem ,brought an inline hand pump to prime fuel into high pressure fuel pump, still not starting cracked of injector nuts and no fuel was coming through from high pressure fuel pump, i then replaced timing belt and high pressure fuel pump , now fuel is coming through but not under pressure ? , timed it back up -replaced water pumps ( it was noisy ) re-greased the idler pulley etc... not starting i have used my m8ts solus and vag software and there is NO codes present !!! after it had broken down there were no codes present either it seems like a mechanic fault , it will run on easy start , i am thinking about towing it as i think that the high pressure pump is not turing over fast enough , is there anything else i can do ??? any help would be greatly apreaciated :rolleyes: as i am at the end of my tether
