  • Recommendations for Premium Diesel Fuel for TDi

    I would be interested to know what Brand diesel fuel TDI owners use and recommend.
    I have read about the following Caltex Vortex Diesel, BP Ultimate Diesel, Shell Diesel 10.
    Do you have any recommendations?

    Whatever I happen to drive past if I need fuel, as long as it's a bigger station that looks like trucks use it.

    It's really not that important.

      Our dealer has expressed a strong preference for BP in SE Qld.
      Something about TDIs coming in with fuel related 'issues'.

        Vortex premium diesel from Cessnock/Bellbird is my only experience up your way.
        Normally I use BP Normanhurst but there's no BP premium diesel in NSW.

        Last time I was at this Cessnock outlet, a bloke had just filled his ZZ-Top hotrod, though obviously not with diesel.
        It's a good place to start the drive to Wollombi / Great North Road. Great drive.

          BP religiously and Caltex Vortex if this isn't available. Shell seems problematic from what little I've read, and I avoid.

            Yeah BP religiously. The reason why is because it has the highest cetane number. Caltex Diesel Vortex and Shell Diesel aren't bad fuels though.

                I use caltex premium diesel cause i thought it was the best but if you guys are saying BP is the way to go i might look around.. i dont think caltex is a bad choice though... i would never go to a brand ive never heard of e.g. something with a name like bobs cheap fuels. i love my baby way to much
