Tesco 99 Ron

[mkviken]

the mk6 GTI says 95RON. mentions nothing of 97/98/99 etc.

i always use VPower or tesco 99. only time its had anything less was when i picked the car up new with 1/8 of a tank!

Judging purely from the filler cap labels it's sounding as if VW have revised the engine to better accommodate 95 RON in later Golfs.

Those with 95 RON labels: What does your GTI Handbook say?

Nothing much really. Says you can use petrol of a higher RON number than is recommended but it makes no improvement on fuel consumption or engine power.

Also encourages the use of fuel containing additives to stop corrosion, keep fuel lines clean etc.

....That's taking a directly opposite stance about RON to earlier cars like mine. Perhaps VW thought that people were too thick to understand the label and think that sales would be effected when they saw 98 RON on the label and thought the car would be more expensive to run.

It surely can't be a generic petrol Golf label because it includes tyre inflation info and surely that's different on the GTI?

Anyway, either V-Power or Tesco 99 is the way to make progress.

Maybe another difference between the AXX & BWA engines then. . . .

I'm sure I read somewhere that they released the tsi engined gti for use with 95 Ron. 

In Norway you get 2 kinds of v power from shell 95 and 98 Ron would that sticker be for the Scandinavian market?
