Fuel
Introduction
In this section you'll find information about:
→ Gasoline
→ Gasoline additives
The correct fuel grade for your engine is shown on a sticker located
on the inside of the fuel filler flap → Fig. 187 .
Bad or poor quality fuel reduces operating performance, efficiency
and service life of the engine. If you notice any symptoms like rough
engine idle or performance or bucking, immediately reduce the
vehicle speed, accelerate slowly, and keep the engine speed in the
middle of the rpm range. Avoid high rpm and rapid acceleration. If
these symptoms should appear right after refueling, switch off the
engine. In both cases contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or
an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility to have the engine
checked.
