I understand, but your not going to fill up, it runs crap, then keep going back for 2 years until its so bad it needs a rebuild.

Interesting.....it DOES exist!! I'll still get my timing checked before I buy one though, just in case!!

Great find Mike! Should be of interest to a number NB8 owners.

my story about the car and the water was on an Audi (TT I think) and the car engine was up for replacement at abt $10,000- I saw the car waiting on the insurer's response Apparently it was almost instant damage but it will have to remain as anecdotal but I am quite sure it was related to fuel. Another guy ( mechanic) told me he has done a number of petrol changes on cars and said dodgy fuel is common.
