i'd go for shell, optimax is good for high performance cars. stops melting pistons (well on cossies anyway lol)

Do tell us, Girlie  :smiley: - where we might find this Optimax?

I'm sure it was a typo on your behalf  :wink:, especially as Optimax has been obsolete for about a year now, having been replaced by V-Power !!!  :nerd:  :nerd:  :kiss:  :kiss:

GTI engine is configured to run on 98RON I believe therefore you need fuels such as Shell V-Power, Tesco 99RON or BP Ultimate.

Not BP Ultimate, as it is only 97 RON!  :nerd:


wasn't sure! I drive a diesel after all  :grin: :grin:

Do they still have the rubber tubes you drive over, and a bell rings in a wooden hut, and then a man appears in a brown dustcoat and flat cap, and fills it up for you . . . . .  :evil:  :evil:

He only asks Girlie as they are now called 'Independent Motor Vehicle Technician (ret'd)'. Some still keep aforementioned cap in their cars, along with the jacket....

Right back at you Sean!!!!
