[VWindahouse]

I,m only running a seat CAI and forge TIP but no APR flash yet. Please let me know how you go FLOODY will be interesting to see how the VPower racing works with the flash

Anyone used V-Power Racing? I pulled into a Shell the other day that had it. Has anyone used it? I don't get it when people say they feel a diff between the 98's or they perfer one over the other. I dare say a Dyno would show a stuff all difference, and how often will you pull your engine apart to see how clean your engine is after using the diff 98's? V-power Racing compared to V-power however, I'd be keen to see that diff on a Dyno.

I used v power racing on my golf gti...its awesome..but im having dramas with my car so its very inconsistent...

however i have an oettinger chip and i feel that its more responsive with BP ultimate..

That's interesting! What sort of troubles are you experiencing?

hmmm..

I really dont know what it is, but my car will just start to loose power, doesnt boost then dies....restart and then its fine...then its not...

You will definately feel the difference with VPower Racing - even a standard car - the car really lifts its skirts and boogies. And for what is probably an extra $8 for a tank (that's barley two domestic beers in a pub) once in a while it's fun!

my old giac chip would start the car sometimes with no boost, new flash fixed it

I heard the Polo GTI can also handle 95RON. Can anyone confirm/deny?

It can. I've done it as a last resort out the back of Kosi national park, haven't ever pushed whilst using 95.

I put in 95, accidentally, 2 times! - Annoyingly my local Caltex don't put signs distinguishing 95 from 98...they just say "Premium". I thought my receipt had it wrong when I checked it had "95RON" on it.

Called up Caltex & let them know that they need to put better signage up at my local (newer servos might be better)!!!


Anyway, I noticed a little drop in performance, but it was ok - the sticker in the fuel cap says min 95, so it mustn't do any damage if that's what you're worried about.

95 would not hurt the engine at all, i've don eit once, cant say i felt verry much of a diffrence.
but, it was only once, normally allways put in 98 in it.
it's higher octane so it's slightly better for the engine, it's more expensive but more economical as well...

her is a dyno test from different fuell types...
shell VS BP VS supermarket Fuell, good revieuw.

Different country, different regulations and fuels.

[instigator]

true, but it's compareable to my country since we are neighbors of GB.
Australia is to the other side of the world for us

but it gives you an idea, so BP or shell would not be bad in any country i guess.

in reply to how far you can go when the distance to empty shows zero....

i drove from Karoonda (just outside of town) to Murray Bridge with the distance to empty showing 0kms - somewhat further than 7kms......
kept it on 90kph and giggled every time the little idiot light beeped at me. was a funny drive.
that was on premium unleaded something. but normally i use BP ultimate.
