hi nadlad!  this is interesting! so yours is a 150 pd... mine is a 115pd i believe... i am changing my fuel filter allot and making sure the fuel is thin enough for the diesel pump etc.  u think i will be ok? these rhumors about injectors screwing up scare me!!

i cant afford diesel its £50 to fill the tank!!

iv been reading alot about the veg oil in cars on the net u tube and t4 website  so thought id give it a try ....
put 20 liters of new normal veg oil in my golff tdi yesterday and runs no prob  there  are loads of processes that people put it through like 2 tank and heating it .... but the best iv found and will be using next is 20 l veg oil to 5 l of petrol its thins it down and makes starting and cold weather no prob for what i can tell .. as well as being easy to do  ... you mix it before you put it in the tank  and away you go ..im prob going to look at fitting race injectors as bigger bor just to save probs and change filters 3 times a year  ...you can not !!!!!!put used un filterd veg oil in your car you can buy filters off ebay for this cheep :)
and to the people that say just buy diesel  ...1 diesel was invented to run on oil not diesel its just there was more diesel than peanut oil at the time and 2 if you spent 600_700 per month on fuel out your own money tou would be looking at anything to make a little saving ..

I've never liked diesels, but from this thread I just want to buy one just to run on chip oil haha.

can't you use methanol to thin it down, not sure on price of meth vs petrol.

The oil idea is not new but not seen it on a mk4, also what's the issue with injectors, I have a cheap but effective ultrasonic cleaner that everyone seems to now own on the Audi forums.
