Chester is past Bristol, about another 2 hours I'd say.

Plus I get free bed and board in Bristol.

The difference as I understand it is that the sucking thingy, sucks all the oil out of the oil ways, oil cooler and pipes. Maybe the TC as well?

Well just draining will only remove the fluid that is able to move from the sump area and pipes that drain in to it.

Someone mentioned about draining the oil, fill it back up, draining and emptying again?
My mate also said this is what he does.

It uses double the fluid but you get most of the crap oil out but I'm not sure on the little particles that won't move by fluid moving under its own weight but I assume they will move when the fluid is being forced out?

I've not contacted anyone yet.
I'm still trying to get my old A4 and the GTI removed, then I can put a bit more focus on the A8.
