Hey guys, just popping in to say "hi"!! I got my first A4 today, a nice 98 A4 1.8 (after being a Renault Megane 1.6 owner for a year - the Audi engine is soooo smooth!).
Now, apart from the consmetics (she's in dire need of a bit of a T-Cut unfortunately) there are a couple of minor niggles; and therefore I'm asking for some advice from the experts!
Firstly, the airbag light is on, I've heard tell that this may be a loose wire under the drivers seat, but is there any way of clearing it without a code reader?
Secondly and most importantly, the oil is in desperate need of a change, which weather permitting, I plan on doing this week after work one evening, but which to use? Is this stuff ok (the car is on 114k):

or should I go for this:
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_74 3651_langId_-1_categoryId_165581
Bear in mind that I'm going to be changing it often every 6 to 8k. There's also the Tesco own and ********* own brands..but not sure on those!
Cheers for the help guys! Once I get the car running tip-top, then I can start in the cosmetic improvements...wooo!
