I'm not sure. But dude owns his own VW repair shop and had about 20 vw's around his shop. And he has a 70 transporter that he has used for a daily driver for 14 years. All I know is that I used better gas like he said, and I haven't had it diesel on me since.
Does anyone use any additives for their gas at all?

my post was no relfection on the dude you deal with, I was just saying it sounds odd that's all, they are electric and electric stuff burns up/ breaks at some point...
IMO.... run the grade octane that works best in YOUR car... some get by with 87 some may need the 89 or the highest premium they can get to avoid ping/run on...
additives are a huge waste of $$ ( again IMO), at least in an aircooled VW engine |
