Re: 1.2 TSI Polo's
I would definitely go with 95. AFAIK it was designed and manufactured based on Europe's 98 ron, so 95 would be your best bet.Jama wrote:It's a turbo car so 93 is a no no , correct?
Edit: Solo beat me to it. At least two of the same comments give you more belief.

Re: 1.2 TSI Polo's

Re: 1.2 TSI Polo's
Easiest way to check Jama, open the fuel flap, it'll indicate the minimum RON needed.
But as a rule of thumb, always use the highest octane available.
