Fuel for the car (VW Passat B6)

General instructions

Unleaded petrol must comply with DIN EN 228.

If only fuel with an octane rating lower than that required for the engine is available, the vehicle should be driven only at medium engine speeds and with reduced engine load. High engine loads due to full acceleration may cause engine damage. The fuel tank should be topped up with gasoline with a sufficient octane rating as soon as possible.

You can use gasoline with a higher octane number than required for a given engine without limitation. However, this does not provide any gain in engine power or fuel consumption.

Caution: Vehicles equipped with a catalytic converter must be operated on unleaded gasoline only.

Caution: Filling the fuel tank with leaded gasoline only once will result in a subsequent reduction in the efficiency of the catalytic converter.

Gasoline additives

Smooth running, power and durability of the engine are determined to a decisive extent by the quality of the fuel. Of particular importance here are the additives (additives) mixed into the fuel. Therefore, it is recommended to fill the car only with high-quality gasoline with additives.

If such gasoline is not available or there are problems with the engine, it is necessary to mix the necessary additives into the fuel when refueling the car. These additives have an anti-corrosion effect, clean the parts of the fuel supply system and remove various types of deposits in the engine.



Not all additives offered on the market have proven to be effective enough.

It is not recommended to mix other additives with gasoline.
