EML after filling up with momentum 99
« on: 25 September 2018, 08:29 »
So I've had my 68 reg GTI for 2 weeks now covering 600 miles. Petrol light come on so I pulled into a Tesco forecourt ant thought 'I'll give that momentum 99 a go'.

Filled up and straight away the EML came on. Has anyone had any experience of mommentum 99?

Does the 2.0 tsi engine not like 99 Ron fuel?
Do I need to drive it a few miles for the ECU to get use to the higher octane fuel?
Or could it be dirty fuel, maybe that pump doesn't get get used very often?

I don't want to waste a trip to the stealers if it's fuel related

Thanks in advance

I would take it to the dealer, if the light came on straight away after filling up, the 99ron fuel wouldn't even be in the fuel system.

Another user of Momentum99 with no issues... you've not got a tuning box or anything fitted have you?

If you know anyone with OBDeleven, you could always run a scan to see what the fault code was but given how new your car is I agree that I would just take it in.

Good point about the old fuel still being in the lines, didn't think of that

Anyone near Runcorn have obd11? If not I'll give VW assist a ring see if they will come out

I would assume the mk7 primes the pump as soon as you open the door, even before the ignition is turned on.

Just take to dealer, that's what they are there for.

Take it straight into the dealer. Was talking to a tech and he recommended only premium fuels as VW are seeing lots of MK6's come in for work doing because of customers using poor quality fuel.

I only ever use V-Power.

VW assist are sending the AA out to me this afternoon, but sods-law just moved the car further back up my driveway to give him more room and the EML has gone out. Touch wood there nothing wrong, I'll let him plug into the OBD see if any faults are stored

Momentum 99 is all my new GTI has had since I picked it up early May. Never had an issue and runs really well.
