Diesel cheaper now?

Bio is a problem for DPF regeneration, so if you don't have a GT, and are prepared to run the VW warranty gauntlet, go for it!

Long term, I'll be running Bio.

$1.02 a litre at Caltex, Blunder rd Oxley. A bit better than $1.82 at the same servo around August-September last year.

This doesn't really answer my question, so I'll start a new thread on the topic.

I thought bio-diesel was not approved for use in TDIs? I read somewhere also, that BP Ultimate diesel as bio as well.

Anyone confirm?

Does the BP Diesel comply with the diesel standard in your owner's manual?
If yes you can use it.
No need to confirm if it has biodiesel in it or not.

The big white boxes (Transporters) have been running DPFs on the 2.5 TDI engines for a couple years now.

Sorry, GT's and any other DPF equipped vehicles, sheesh...

Sorry, I was a proof reader several decades ago and I just can't seem to shake the habit

It is useful at times though, picking up discrepancies even when I'm not really looking for them (sometimes I don't know what is exactly wrong, just that the "fact" currently in front of me contradicts some other "fact" I've come across elsewhere).
