Hey guys, so this is my first forum post ever so I apologize if I'm reposting something that's obviously been discussed to death, but there are just two things I'd like to hear about from you guys...
I've been reading up on using Stanadyne with CR diesels, as you know with mixed opinions. In my personal account, my manual says not to use diesel additives, the dealership technicians didn't seem to know what I was talking about so told me to follow my manual, and Stanadyne says its use with ALL diesel injection systems is fine and recommended, even with new high pressure CR models.
I live in the boonies and the overwhelming majority of the diesel available in my area is rated 40 Cetane, which is basically the lowest legally available diesel sold in the states. I understand VW recommends 50+ in their diesels, but I also know my CR motor is supposed to run just fine on what's available. The point is, this car is basically my livelihood, and I don't want to just run it responsibly, I want to do everything in my power to keep the injectors, DPF, and emissions hardware as healthy as possible, and upping the quality of the fuel I put in my car is something I just can't see a problem with.
My questions are:
A) If I use Stanadyne with my fuel ups, do you suppose my warranty could be voided?
B) Do any of you out there drive a 2013 2.0L TDI running Stanadyne or any additives with positive or negative results?
Any opinions/experience would be greatly appreciated! Hope to see some of you at Dub Deliverance!
