age to plastic and rubber components in the
fuel system.

driveability and performance problems due

recommend that you switch to unblended

Gasoline additives
Applies to: vehicles with gasol ine engine
A majo r concern among many auto manufactur ­
ers is carbon deposit build-up caused by the type
of gasoline you use.
A lthough gasoline grades d iffer from one manu­
facturer to another, they have cer tain things in
common . A ll gasoline grades contain substances
that can cause deposits to collect on vita l engine
parts, such as fue l injectors and intake valves . Al ­
though most gasoline brands include additives to keep engine and fuel systems clean, they are not
equally effective.
Audi recommends using TOP TIER Detergent Gas­
oline. For more informat ion on TOP TIER Deter­
gent Gasoline, please go to the official website (www.toptiergas .com) .
Check ing and Filling
After an extended period o f using inadeq uate
fuels, bui lt-up ca rbon deposits can rob your en­
gine of peak performance.
(D Note
- Damage or malfunction d ue to poor f uel
quality is no t covered by the Audi New Veh i­
cle Lim ited Warranty .
- Do not add af termarket fuel addi tive prod­
u cts to your fue l tank.
Diesel fuel
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engine
Always use U LSD (Ult ra Low Sulfur Diesel) No. 2.
T he ULSD No. 2 meets the AS TM 0975.
D iesel fuel w ith concentrations of b iod iesel h igh­
er than 5
% such as Bl 1, B20 or B100 are st rict ly
prohib ited.
Service station fuel pumps are labeled with the
cor rect fuel i nformation for easy recogn ition by
the user. If the d iesel fue l pump is not labeled
as k t he station operator wha t fuel is being dis­
pensed before fill ing up your vehi cle.
U LSD No . 2 may not be ava ilable outside the USA
and Canada. Be su re to check befo re t raveling to
othe r countr ies.
ULSD No . 2 can become thicker in very cold tem­
peratures, and th is can impa ir the engine's start­
ing and runn ing . Depend ing o n the season, gas
stations provide ULS D No. 2 that flows be tte r in
cold te mpe ra tures so that you can conti nue ope r­
at ing your vehicle as usual.
(D Note
- Yo ur vehicle's diese l eng ine w as designed
so ley for use w ith ULS D No. 2. Therefo re,
never use gasoline, heating oil, other fuels
or flow improvers. These contain s ubstances
