Petrol/ethanol
Vehicles with a TotalFlex engine can be run on either premium unleaded petrol (RON 95/AKI 91) according to Resolucao ANP No 57 or on fuels containing any proportion of ethanol.
CAUTION
- Just one tank of leaded fuel or fuel with metallic additives will permanently impair the efficiency of the catalytic converter.
- You should use only petrol additives which have been approved by Audi. Additives with so-called octane boosters or antiknock additives can contain metallic additives that cause significant damage to the engine and the catalytic converter. Do not use such additives.
- Metal-based fuels, which can be identified from the marking on the fuel dispenser, must not be used. LRP fuel (lead replacement petrol) also contains high concentrations of metallic additive. Risk of engine damage!
- High engine speed and full throttle can damage the engine when using petrol with an octane rating lower than the correct grade for the engine.
Note
- You can use higher octane fuel than your engine requires.
- In countries where sulphur-free fuel is not available, you may use low-sulphur fuel instead.
