Hi All
Ive just come across the info about the E10 fuel coming in in September.
Looking on the .Gov site it doesnt seem very clear about what to do with my 1.4 AUA ie can I use the new E10 or do i have to use the E5 but revert to the 98 ron as ive always just used the basic 95 ron unleaded.
If anyone knows for sure about this i would be grateful for your input as Im sure my local Audi dealer wont have a clue and just try to flog me a new car.!
many thanks

Bill
 
Your 1.4 AUA will be fine, Bill. Anyone running an FSI on 95 ron however... (surely no-one here)

One of several previous threads covering this:

E10 Petrol

Fuel stations to switch to E10 petrol in September: Arrival of the greener fuel will increase prices and can cause catastrophic damage to classic vehicles and cars built as recently as the early 2000s. Does anyone know how this will affect A2s ?

Unless your FSI has the ProBoost ECU. Not run mine on 95RON but apparently OK with their map.

Hi
Thanks for your replies


Well I did (see below) but that is what caused my confusion.....
I dont know if the 1.4 AUA is a first generation direct injection engine.....(excuse my ignorance) or not .
Clearly the FSI engine is excluded.

So Steve you're saying to use the E10 ? just double checking.

many thanks
Bill

I'm saying that the 1.4 petrol A2s are not direct injection, and that E10 fuel is therefore reported as safe to use.

For other reasons, I prefer to fill my own AUA A2 with either Shell V-Power or Tesco Momentum (both 99 ron) and I expect to stick with that policy going forward. However, were I doing significantly higher annual mileages, I'd happily use the E10 option.
