Checking and Filling
- If you a re unable to determine whether or
not a particular fuel blend meets the speci-
fications, ask your service station or its fuel
supplier.
- Do not use fuel for which the contents can-
not be identified.
- Fuel system damage and performance prob-
lems resulting from the use of fuels differ-
ent from those specified a re not the respon-
sibility of Audi and are not covered under
the New Vehicle or the Emission Control
System Warranties.
- If you experience a loss of fuel economy or
driveability and performance problems due
to the use of one of these fuel blends , we
recommend that you switch to unblended
fuel.
Gasoline additives
A major concern among many auto manufactur-
ers is carbon deposit build-up caused by the type
of gasoline you use.
Although gasoline grades differ from one manu-
facturer to another, they have certain things in
common. All gasoline grades contain substances
that can cause deposits to collect on vital engin e
parts, such as fuel injectors and intake valves. Al-
though most gasoline brands include additives to
keep engine and fuel systems clean, they are not
equally effective .
Audi recommends using TOP TIER Dete rgent Gas-
oline. For more information on TOP TIER Deter-
gent Gasoline , please go to the official website
(www.toptiergas .com) .
After an extended per iod of using inadequate
fuels, carbon deposit build-ups can rob your en-
gine of peak performance.

Damage or malfunction due to poor fuel qual-
ity is not covered by the Audi New Vehicle
