Petrol for C180K

[woofie]

can the C180K take on ron 95? or must it be Ron 98?

No issue with 95. But I prefer 98. There's a little bit difference in mileage. About 30-50km per tank.

Tried both 95, and 98. No diff leh. No guts to go 92 yet

Butt feel : 98 gut gut. 95 a little rough at first, after a while ok (think ECU self adjusted). Best is 97 cheap and gut gut!

if u look at the fuel cap, think it said no below 91 ron so i guess 92 is fine, but price different between 92 n 95 not alot

I have been running on Shell 95 since year 2000 on my W168, W203 and W204 now. No problem with the engines.

I also run 95 for all my rides, no issues so far!

the manual says 91 is okay but only as a temporary measure, and avoid driving at full throttle.

my guess this will cause the engine to ping.. thus u can only use it to jiam si dong.. until u get to find at least 95 and above

At my own opinion, generally the type of fuel used for stock rides is ok..Eg: If the manual stated "no below 91 then 95-98 should be okay de...

However, when it comes to ECU re-mapping mods like Stage I (where the parameters are fine-tuned and upscaled nearer to the limits) or Stage II (Stage I plus additional parts to upscale the car performance), there are specific program codes on using 95 and 98, because for TC engines, the type of combustion on what type fuel plays a part in the compression ratio (Eg: Amount of air vs amount of fuel injected into the combustion chamber). If the wrong type of fuel is used, through long term, it may end up not having the optimum combustion, and hence engine problems.

This is through some lunch-time discussion with my khakees on their Golf GTi Stage I and Beemers Stage I mods....just my two cents worth.
