"I read somewhere about putting vegetable oil in cars as being OK and as oil is so expensive I thought I would try it but I've now got smoke coming out of my exhaust.
I've checked the dip stick and the oil is not over the full mark which the handbook says not to do.
Has this happened to anyone else who has tried it?"
....how....??? |

Do you think we should suggest him to put some fries in his fuel tank? After a few minutes the smoke coming out of the exhaust must be smelling like a McDonald's in the middle of rush hour then...

Hi,
Well it clearly seems it is not pure coincidence that VW owners are completely irrelevant to what the "vehicle" concept is ...
In addition in my country the criterion for someone to buy a VW is:
"Buy a Golf in order to sell it in good price"
Regards,
