just wanting to konw what fuel people put in there R32? personally i put v power in as my ibiza could only run on that so im used to it. but if i am desperate i ll put total excellium in.
Its strange you say that, I've had the last three tanks of Optimax and found the car is back to the normal damn annoying over sensitive throttle. so much so it annoyed me yesterday.
I'll try next week going back to 99ron Tesco and see if it does make a difference.
I always use V power.... im quite lucky and have a BP.... Tesco..... Total and a number of shell garages. I used to use Bp ultimate in my GTI but i much prefer Vpower sounds gorgeous when warmed up. They do have the BP 102RON round the corner but im not spending 100 odd quid filling it up, plus on tests ive read it isnt a huge amount better once the engine is at optimum temperature and is only realy better from cold..... im no expert thoughepsi:

the tesco fuel definately gives me a better cold engine take off - i dont bounce out of the tjunction in the morning, the vpower just seems to make the car sound better once the temp needle hits the middle
frustrating at times but its a small price to pay for now, would remapping solve this a little maybe?
My friendly mech was very sure about the virtues of v-power, in all aspects of its performance including (and for some the most important) engine performance.

as i work in f1 we get the race car fuel that is left over which makes one f**k of a diference, its rated at about 107 octane, and ive bin told by vw that its ok to use as long as i dont use it all the time so could you add f1 fuel to your chart please !!
Have been using V-Power, but I have Excellium 200 yards away - so it depends on when I get close to running out...
Plus V is 2p dearer than Excellium, although I'm not that tight really!!!
