So, i bought my A2 1.6FSI Sport (ex demo with 4k miles) around two months ago and from day one have been running it on the BP Ultimate Super Unleaded fuel. The car was jumpy and hessitant at low revs plus a little under powered but i thought nothing of it until i read on this forum that the FSI needs low sulphor fuel, Optimax.
Im just finishing my first full tank of Optimax and WHOA what a difference! After the car seemingly re-adjusted to it, no hessitation at low revs, and bags more power too! Also, with a quarter of a tank left i had done 300 miles of normal mixed driving, which is a good 25-30 better than the Ultimate fuel.
In conclusion, if you have a 1.6FSI, i recommend you steer well clear of BP Ultimate and use Optimax.
