What jiuce are you drinking?
Just a quickie….
Are you guys and gals burning regular unleaded or super?
I read somewhere that injection models should be on super to prevent engine damage.
I'm not that lucky, as I only have a 1.8 carb!!
Ta!

Bag of spanners on Tescos, and Shell Optimax (or whatever they call it now) seems to cause a bit of backfire!!! 8O

I don't care what you run,I buy the cheapest fuel as I drive past. I honestly don't think it makes that much difference in an 8 valver of this vintage. My 20 Valve Turbo Volvo does drive better on high octane but then again its a modern multi valve engine and should. Don't waste your time going for extra power from your Golf though, waste of money.

Really? What have you got? I've tried both in mine and noticed no difference at all.
This magic can of fuel injection/air thingy that VW gave me to stick in the fuel tank is working an absolute treat though - my car hums happily once more…mmm….

Definately feel a difference when using super unleaded. even more so when I use Shell Optimax! Ive got a DX code 1.8 gti 1983.
Felt so under powered when I put normal unleaded the other week, then filled it back up with Optimax and she went like a rocket!!
