Type of petrol

Post by Cyprus-rocco »

I was just wondering if its ok to use 100 unleaded petrol for my car? since on the petrol flap it only says 95-98, will it make any difference?

Thanks

Hello,

It will cause no harm to the engine, just the wallet.

Difference will depend on what brand of petrol in Cyprus you used compared to 98RON brand levels.

You can only try and asssess. The only issue may be if there are engine problems in the future, the warranty may be assessed on using the wrong grade of fuel if your VW importer has specified 95 - 98RON. Its normally 95RON and above elsewhere.
