R99 and VW TDI

[kendavis]

Anyone know if this new R99 stuff is okay for use in VW TDI vehicles?
Don't want to risk losing a fuel pump or something without asking. I don't see any official statement, but the concerns are the obvious "Is the lubricity good enough?"

Anybody use Propel HPR in a BEW....

I have been using HPR in my ALH run TDi's for years and without exception the first time I used it without changing the injection pump seals, it will cause the IP to leak like a sieve. Now, I have a BEW with 220K miles on it.. I know it doesnt have an Injection pump but what could. happen if...

You should be just fine. IP leaking will be hit or miss depending on how it was treated over the it’s life with other diesel. As for lubricity, it meets the 520 or greater scar minimum. However, many tests have shown a bit better.

Cali I take? Most places are running R95 instead of R99.
