Do you use BD in your Tourag?
And what number BD you use in?
I just got a 06 Tourag, trying to use it, and I have a 06 Jetta TDI, I'm using D100 for more than 6 month now no problem!!

Thank you !

Wayne, with the DPF in the V10 I use B15. Higher concentrations of BD don't seem to digest as well...

I wasn't aware that the 2004-2006 V10 TDIs had DPFs in them.

Apparently they do: (from wikipedia)
The V10 TDI returned to the U.S. market as 2006 model year vehicle in 5 states. Later US models went on sale in 2006, which was compliant with 50 states emission with Ultra-low sulfur diesel and particulate filter. The 2006 US model's MSRP was $67,750.[4] Stricter CARB emissions standards resulted in the V10 TDI being cancelled again in the United States.[5] This has since been replaced by a V6 TDI engine that meets the California Air Resources Board's (CARB's) minimum emission requirements for the 2009 model year.

That sounds to me like mid-year (ie late 2006) model vehicles, ones that would technically count as being 2007 models, have the DPF. I'd like to think that's a smaller percentage of all the V10's out there.
