RossL:
This is something that probably gets asked quite a bit and everyone has mixed opinions on it, Ive never got a straight answer.

My Golf has an APR Stage 1 Remap, Ive been recommended to run the car on Premium unleaded (Shell V Power I use) now alot of people say with a remapped car its essential to run it on premium fuel.

Is it true or just aload of rubbish ?

Thanks
Ross.

Hedge:
Is your's a switchable map?

You can normally have 95 and 98 RON maps switchable via the cruise stalk on APR. :happy2:

vRS Carl:
I don't think it's essential to run it on Premium fuel.

However you should run the map in 95Ron mode if you do use normal fuel. You will just suffer a performance loss in terms of outright power/torque


FWIW the difference of £4-5 or so for a full tank (based on V-Power being about 8ppl more than 95) i would rather run the premium as you do get better MPG.

LC_15:
you can switch your map on APR i had mine last week and love it the noise over standard is just immense

RossL:
I havn't got cruise on mine, but im probably going to get it installed.

Thanks for the responses, I agree its worth it to run it on V Power anyway.
