Always, I had a 2012 TDI and used PS for 6 yrs, now I am on my "new" 2016 1500 miles and am using it on every fillup. I don't know if it makes a difference,but I know my car ran smooth and had no HPFP issues. I also used on my 2009 JSW TDI with the same good results.

My opinion is it is cheap insurance for poor quality diesel you can run into on your travels.

I use the PS Gray most of the year (probably every other tank) and the white in the colder months. I don’t think the diesel kleen product is necessary for every tank use.

I used to use the Standyne product that they sold at VW, but on my Cummins truck it reduced my fuel economy.

I used Opti-Lube in my Treg, and now use it in my Q5. Summer formula is what I am using at the moment. I’ve used XPD and also liked it.

Old hifi, Don't worry about algae in your fuel unless you never drive your car. I have a large diesel in my boat that is seldom used. fuel is 2 yrs old and the engine runs like a top. I put stabilizer in the tank at the end of each season and no problems. Tank holds 150 gallons,so half of that is 2 yrs old. I also store one of my TDIs over the winter and no algae.
