    Can one of you new Mk7 owners confirm B20 is OK?

    Before the cars were sold here there were several articles (here's one) implying that B20 is approved for use in the new EA288 engine. Can one of you new owner's post a pic of the owner's manual page that references the biodiesel limit? Thanks in advance and congrats on your new tdi.

    I haven't seen this mentioned here, and came across it yesterday after participating in another thread discussion on fuel additives. Infineum runs random fuel sample tests on retail pump fuel around the world every two years. I'm obviously mainly concerned with the US supply :) Link My...

    I performed a partial 'mark-n-pray' timing belt job- let the flaming begin

    BMW M550d xDrive- the ultimate diesel?

    I rode in a 550i xDrive while in Germany last month and was blown away on how it cruised the autobahn. The pull from 120mph was fantastic! :D. I can't imagine how much better the M550d would be. Unfortunately, there are no plans to bring it to N America. link

    Results of my request for data from Opti-Lube

    I know many folks here are using Opti-Lube products for lubricity improvement due to its performance in the Spicer Test. Some of us have had doubts about the results of the Spicer Test.
