95, 98 RON or carrot juice?
« on: 29 July 2003, 14:03 »
Got a new 1.8T (180bhp) Golf.  ;D

Can i use 98 RON as well as the usual 95 RON unleaded petrol, without modifying anything? ???

Car manual says 95 ron, but looking on the inside of the petrol cap shows a stick saying 95/ 98 RON (or is this just a standard sticker?).

Also, is there any real difference using optimax or not?

Cheers.

I use Optimax and I have noticed alot of difference in the performance,
A much smoother ride and I've noticed you get more miles to the tank.

We'll optimax has gone in at last.

Is it the juice or what, but changing gear seems alot smoother, doens't seem to pause as much, waiting for the turnbo now.

Was thinking of getting a new recirculator but may not need one now!!

Top Smart!
