Hi I am about to re-fill my 1.4 TFSI S line S tronic for the first time do I need to use the higher rated octane recommended under the filler cap.

No, I've got an A3 saloon 1.4 TFSI, and I've only ever used 95 octane without any problems since buying the car in April 2014.

As for most modern engines 95 octane will do no harm; in France I've often had to use it in my Porsche Boxer.
However until I get my Q2 this month I will still use 98 octane in my old Vauxhall Corsa; it's given me better consumption and a trouble free motoring for 13 years.

Thanks for the replies lads.

Hi Steve G,
How are you getting on with the car.
Are you using premium fuel or using the regular unleaded?

 

[Steve G]

I am using regular unleaded,car is running well doubt if the premium would turn it into an R8.
