New member, first time GTI owner, thoughts on fuel?

[PabloDiablo]

Thanks for the feedback folks - think I'll give the posh stuff a try and see how it goes.

AndyG......will get some pics up soon. Plate starts KS61 so guess it's not your old one.

We all love a Gd pic or two!

[PabloDiablo]

....any hints for adding pics to my profile?

....any hints for adding pics to my profile?

You'll need to upload pics to a hosting website such as photobucket or flickr.  Then on your chosen pic, copy and past IMG code (photobucket) or BBC code (flickr) and post into your sig.  You'll need to keep the image size relatively small for sig pics.  Also help here, though it not sure how up to date it is.

Very nice Pablo    I do love a tidy white mk6.

I've had 2 mk6 Gti's and I ran them on 95ron with no probs. I would get 350 to 370 miles out of the tank.

I run mine on Super

I did have the emissions light come on. A specialist diagnosed too much oil, drained 1/4 litre and cleared the code. It came back on a few weeks later, after I could only find regular
I thought nothing of this until the light went off after a motorway run (and fuel stop for Super)
I assumed this to be a coincidence until that cycle happened again this weekend - 3/4 tank of lower grade, followed by emissions light a day or two later
Long motorway run and a Super fill up and the light is off again

Don't know if this is coincidence, if there is something wrong with the inlet system that sustained high revs clear vs town driving or if it's the fuel - anyone had any experience of this?

Cheers

There's been quite a few tests and comparisons done on this and the jury's still out as to whether you get any real benefit.

New member here also, waiting patiently for the right MK6 3 door, anyway, I thought this debate had been settled long ago. As others have said it's about personal choice, but I'll never use anything less than V Power because of a few People I know that had issues with injectors using supermarket fuel never to have them again once they switched to better fuel.

This is worth the watch for those that haven't seen it, and partly why I always use V Power. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQghB4asSnI
