Shell V-Power Nitro + coming tomorrow
« on: April 17, 2013, 02:27:21 pm »
Just been informed that V-Power is improving. :happy2:

Don't quite know what it will mean for all us guys who had our cars mapped to V-Power, Probably nothing considering it has the same 99RON

Nope, Its only really another re-brand of V-power which was re-branded Optimax, but from the leaflet i have seen it says it reduces friction from Start up.

Any idea of which garages will be participating?

Also, doesn't Nitro degrade over time?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I am led to believe it is all the ones that currently sell V-Power as the new one will replace it.

I thought Optimax was 98ron and V-Power 99?
