Golf GTI unleaded vs super unleaded??

[paul38]

Hi Guys,

Picking up my 07 Golf GTI tomorrow after 7 yrs of audi diesel (ok, last 9 mths was a focus diesel, due to house move which never happened)

It just occured to me, do these cars run on super unleaded as its known as in n ireland (98 octane) or can regular unleaded be used. If so is it likely to cause any damage?? using regular unleaded that is

cheers

paul

I asked the Salesman when I got mine what fuel it took. I was told 95 would be fine, only then when you come to fill the thing up you see inside the fuel cap says 98.

I have been filling up with both Vpower if I am close to home, but not too bothered about putting 95 in if away from my usual fuel stations. Does not appear to be a problem.

Intresting, the label on the inside of my fuel cap says min 95

the sales guy told me super unleaded was recommended every 3rd fill
