I'm currently using a 10 w40 oil. On start up from cold the Oil Pressure Gauge needle goes right round the Gauge and off the scale. Once warm everythings fine. Is the 10w40 too thick , do I need a thinner grade of Oil ? Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

10W40 semi synthetic is the right oil for UK car.
Good quality filter, Genuine VW or MANN are the ones to go for.

yep that is considered normal…. You should see my gauge peg with 20W50… just till it warms and thins up a wee bit.
