MILLERS OIL - PERFORMANCE OILS

We have the option to upgrade your engine oil to a Millers Oils Performance oil. There are two different performance oils from Millers. What oil you need depends on what you need from your car, so let's talk about it!

Millers EE Performance Oil

EE Performance is a high performance engine oil range which is ideal for on-road, fast road and track use. The EE range is specifically designed for vehicles that demand maximum engine performance. This engine oil uses the nanodrive technology. EE Performance offers an improved formulation with significant reductions in friction and wear compared to industry standard formulations.

This oil is a longlife oil, perfect for sticking to your OEM intervals for replacing your oil every 10,000 miles or 12 months.

Millers Motorsport Nanodrive NT+ Oil

Millers NT+ is a competition fully synthetic engine oil, a range of engine oil which incorporate low friction technology to achieve award winning results. This oil is recommended for competition engines - suitable for naturally aspirated and turbo charged engines. This oil is ideal for all race types, including endurance, time attack, sprints, hill climb, circuit racing and rallying. Suitable for operating temperatures of 125 degrees to peak temperatures of 150 degrees.

This oil is perfect for track and fast road performance vehicles but this is NOT a longlife oil. This oil will need changed on a regular basis.

EV & HYBRID REPAIR AND SERVICING

Needing work done on your hybrid or electric vehicle?

Our mechanic, Jordan has completed his IMI Level 3 Electric & Hybrid Vehicle System Repair and Replacement (Institute Of Motor Industry) and will soon be completing his IMI Level 4 – meaning he has the knowledge to correctly and safely carry out work on a high voltage vehicle (which can be extremely dangerous). Both Alana & Jordan will be carrying on with further training which allows us to adapt to the future as we’re only seeing more and more EV or hybrid vehicles on the roads!

At J&A Automotive, we can carry out maintenance, repairs and diagnostic work on your electric/hybrid vehicle. Hybrid and electric vehicles need maintenance and repairs, just the same as any combustion engine vehicle. For example, this includes replacing brake discs and pads, windscreen wipers, tyres, suspension components and the diagnosis of any faults which may arise.

If you have any questions or if you’re needing some work completed on your hybrid or electric vehicle, please contact us.

ADDITIONAL WORK

HALDEX SERVICING

If your VAG Group vehicle has 4WD or FWD as is the case with the MQB Seat Leon Cupra, Golf GTI Performance Pack or Clubsport, it is more than likely your vehicle has a Haldex system.

The Haldex system uses an in-pump strainer to catch debris and contaminants within the oil and due to this we recommend having your Haldex serviced every 10,000 miles to avoid the strainer becoming clogged up. If not serviced, the Haldex pump can become blocked and this will eventually lead to pump failure which is a costly repair.

There are different generations of Haldex, some of which use a filter. The filter can become blocked and burn out the pump if not serviced regularly. If you think your vehicle has a Haldex, contact us and we will be able to help you out.

The price of a haldex service depends on the generation of haldex which is fitted to your vehicle. An MQB Haldex is a Gen 5 which is £130 (inc VAT) for Genuine Parts.

DSG SERVICING

It's important to keep your DSG gearbox serviced regularly, otherwise driving the car with old and contaminated oil will

affect the performance and could also lead to costly gearbox repairs due to other parts getting damaged.

Prices differ depending on gearbox type and price includes gearbox adaptions.

We offer this service using Millers DSG oil, which offers a more wallet friendly service without compromising on quality. (Genuine oil can be used on request).

DSG Servicing (using Millers DSG oil & genuine VW filter and seal if applicable):

DQ250 (6 Speed) - £180

DQ381 & DQ500 (7 Speed) - £190

If you're unsure what gearbox your vehicle has or if you need a price for a different brand of vehicle, please contact us.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

Incorrect wheel alignment can result in irregular tyre wear, affect the handling and safety of the vehicle.

Wheel alignment problems can be caused by hitting a kerb, driving over a pothole in the road or by excessive wear to steering or suspension bushes and components. It is important to get your wheel alignment checked regularly, especially on performance vehicles to ensure you get the most out of your tyres and the best handling characteristics.

We carry out a pre alignment check where we inspect all suspension components and tyres are in good condition. This is included in the price of £120.

COURTESY CAR

We have a courtesy car available to book, keeping you behind the wheel while your car is having some TLC. Please book along side your appointment to avoid disappointment as there is only one car available.

You will be covered via our insurance and there is a small charge of £15.

The driver must be between the ages of 25 - 65 years old and have no criminal convictions or any more than 2 penalty points on their licence for the following offences: CU, SP, TS.

All terms and conditions can be found here.

RACINGLING OEM+ SOFTWARE

More Information including power gains, vehicles supported by Racingline's OEM+ and more about Racinglines great benefits such as 'free upgrades for life' can be found HERE.

MQB CLUTCH WITH RACINGLINE OEM+ SOFTWARE DEAL

It's recommended that you upgrade your clutch before beginning to tune your 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen 3. The stock clutches are weak and it's common that they can begin to slip, even when running on a stock clutch. We've introduced a package bundle which includes a uprated clutch from RTS and stage one OEM+ software from Racingline. Contact us for more information.

Suitable for Stock, Stage 1 and Stage 2 tuned vehicles, gives a lighter OEM feel that can be lived with every day.

Manual MQB DMF Clutch & Stage One Deal:

RTS Twin Friction clutch, Dual Mass Sachs Flywheel, Genuine VW Slave Cylinder and Racingline OEM+ Stage One - £1670 (Saving over £250 from retail).

Manual MQB SMF Clutch & Stage One Deal:

RTS Twin Friction clutch with Single Mass Flywheel, Genuine VW Slave Cylinder and Racingline OEM+ Stage One - £1720 (Saving over £200 retail)

What's the difference between dual mass and single mass flywheel?

A single mass flywheel is much more durable than a dual mass flywheel. Using the SMF clutch kit will increase the durability of your clutch as you are removing the component that is most

likely to fail.

Additional Stage One Modifications:

Add a Racingline R600 for an additional £424.57.
Add the full Racingline R600 bundle which includes a RL inlet pipe and RL turbo elbow for £666.69
