Re: Does it need Super Unleaded?
The engine ECU will adjust to suit the fuel in use. The minimum is specified on the fuel tank filler flap label. Using Unleaded v Super Unleaded grades will have impact on the engine available power. In reality, normal driving it shouldn't show much difference. It will only be more noticeable if you want to drive the Scirocco more sportingly.

Re: Does it need Super Unleaded?
please don't put normal UL into your R.

apart from the first £10 of fuel being Total Excellium SUL put in by my dealer sales chick, mine has had Shell V Power ever since. I don't care about the cost. For a high performance car such as the Roc R it should get the best fuel available out there on the forecourts.

I think I am going to use Tesco 99. This seems to be the highest quality available near by. Thanks for the advice all.
