    Use of 2 stroke oil in 2011 RS TDI

    Hi Folks,

    Been a stalker here for a while before my first post and I must say I like what I read. Very informative forums.

    I took delivery of my Race Blue 125kW 2.0 TDI RS Wagon just over a week ago and am loving it! Pretty much stock except for tint - darkest legal all round for $220.00.

    Now the real reason for my post relates to the diesel donk. A friend of mine has a diesel Merc van and swears by the addition of 2 stroke oil in the fuel every fill. Says it is quieter at idle, has slightly better torque and there is and improvement in economy. Merc apparently has done a lot of R&D on the matter and back the addition of 2 stroke oil in their diesels.

    Now this may open up a can of worms, however I'll ask anyways.... what are the pros and cons for adding 2 stroke oil to my diesel donk?

    Looking forward to some constructive discussions on this matter.

    Cranks

    There's a thread about this in the Diesel subforum and it gets pretty heated between proponents (I'm one) and detractors of this practice.
    In fact you will find a thread about this on just about any forum where there are diesel engined cars!!
