Mk7 Golf GTI Discussion Thread

It should do considering it is running a 2.0TSI engine.

Yeah apparently it's the same motor in the S3 detuned

Same motor as in a 2.0TSI, but likely to run a Ko3 not the Ko4?

It's an EA888 (so, the 2.0 TSI engine in the Mk7 GTI and R), and I did read an article speculating it runs a K03 a few months back but can't find a reference to back that up at present.

Given it's tuned for 170kw, chances are it's the K03.

As the GTI and the R both use the same engine (not turbocharger) with detail differences, and the S3 engine is the R engine, I'd say it's fair to conclude that yes, they run the same engine.

Gti owners - what fuel do you put in the tank? When I picked mine up last week the sales person told me to always use 95, but on the fuel flap is says minimum of 95. Any of you using 98?

[godzilla_110TDI]

I personally wouldn't use 95 unless 98 was unavailable

[Brendan_A]

I will be using BP 98 only.

[Lem2808]

Any reason why it was suggested to use 95 ?

2 years ownership only ever used 98 ron in my GTI. Have had no issues, car runs like a dream

[7R]

Same here...

[kennyc]

Had my gti for 4 years and always put bp 98. Dealer told me to always use that as well. No issues for me

[Brendan_A]

Even the brochure says to use minimum 98 Ron.

[scobb]

Well, that would be interesting in NZ. 98 is only available from selected BP outlets. 91 is standard here with 95 if you need premium. So, 9 out of 10 service stations would not stock fuel of this high RON.
