Volkswagen recommends TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline. For more information on TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, please go to the official Web site http://www.toptiergas.com. If quality gasoline with additives that do not contain metal is not available or engine malfunctions occur, you should add the required additives while refueling ⇒ . Not all gasoline additives are effective. Using the wrong additives can cause significant and expensive damage to the engine and the catalytic converter. Never use additives that contain metal. Please note that metal can be included in some aftermarket gasoline additives that are available to be added to gasoline during or after refueling to help improve knock resistance or increase the octane rating. Volkswagen recommends using only additives approved by Volkswagen. Appropriate additives as well as instructions on how to use them are available from your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Do not add any other gasoline additives. NOTICE You can damage the engine by using incorrect additives. x Using incorrect gasoline additives can cause extensive engine damage as well as damage to the catalytic converter. x If you must fuel your vehicle with gasoline whose octane rating is too low, only drive with the engine speed in the middle of the rpm range and with low engine load. Avoid high rpm and heavy engine load. Otherwise, the engine could be damaged. Refuel your vehicle with gasoline with the required octane rating as soon as possible. x Do not use fuel that is labeled at the pump as containing metal. Lead replacement fuel contains high concentrations of metallic additives. Engine damage could result. x Fueling your vehicle just one time with leaded fuel or fuel that contains other metallic additives can affect the performance of the catalytic converter and cause extensive damage to it. Diesel fuel ¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS . Always use only Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel (ULSD) fuel No. 2 ⇒ . The ULSD must always meet ASTM D-975 specification ⇒ . “ULSD” should be clearly marked on the pump. Before filling your vehicle, please always make sure you are using ULSD. According to Federal regulations ULSD is the only diesel fuel type allowed for use in your vehicle. Diesel fuel with concentrations of methyl ester biodiesel higher than 5% (B5), such as B11, B20, or B100, are strictly prohibited. ULSD diesel fuel may not be available outside the USA and Canada. Be sure to check availability before traveling to other countries. Winter diesel At temperatures below 20 °F (-7 °C), wax separation in ULSD occurs. Wax may clog the fuel filter or tank filter and keep the engine from running. To help prevent the filter from being clogged with wax, the fuel filter in your vehicle is heated with warm fuel when the engine is running (filter preheating system). Heating the fuel filter makes it possible to use your vehicle with ULSD down to about -10 °F (-24 °C). If you expect temperatures below +5 °F (-15 °C) ask your fuel dealer if their ULSD is sufficiently winterized.
