Shell Optimax

[dash]

I use bp diesel ultimate all the time.
Trust me it does make a difference to ordinary diesel.
Never I would use normal diesel!

It cleans the engine too!!!!!!!!

Maybe its only the 180bhp and above that it says it for. My manual and fuel flap say 98ron. (Plus my revo programme was super unleaded optimised so I try not to ever have to use normal)

Nope the fuel flap on the 1.6 Leon says 98ron as well.

Anyone got a standard FR to check? Just checked mine outside in the pouring rain and its definitely 95 octane. Bit dubious putting 98 or higher in it...

Are you sure it doesn't have say 98/95 on the fuel cap. Thats what mine says. It wont do any harm putting 98 or super in, its just whether you will notice any difference.

I have a 150bhp Fr, il give it a check. Does it just say it on the fuel cap?

 

[chase06]

Nah im positive mine says 95 only, mind you mines a late 2005 edition before the 06 facelift if that makes much difference? AFAIK the 2006 is just a facelift with no power increase or mapping changes...

Cheers

mine is a 54 plate and its fine to put 98 in it it wont harm it it will just run better it actually says on mine 98/ 95 so i guess that mean use 98 first and 95 if you have to!

Seriously guys? If I can try and take a picture and post it of the fuel flap. In the mean time, this is what Seat.com recommend...

not right away i used sainsburys super which was 97 then when it got revo'd i used 98 and have done bar three times whaen i half filled it with 95

 

[gazjones]

strange they say 95 for fr and 98 for the cupra but its the same engine really!

 

[Nath.]

I always use the cheapest stuff 95 I think

no problems at all but will 98 make the car go any better

oe standard fr 20vt apart from pd160 intake BTW

 

[gazjones]

with standard i dont know if it will make much difference but with mine i put 95 in for a long jurney so didnt need performance but when i had it in 5th and put my foot to the floor it took ages to boost properly. then on the way back i put optimax in and it boosted so much better and pulled alot better!
