Gasoline additives
Appl ies to vehicles: with gaso line engine
A major concern among many auto manufactur­
ers is carbon deposit build-up caused by the type
of gasoline yo u use.
Although gasoline grades differ from one manu­
facture r to another, they have certa in things in
common. A ll gasoline grades contain substances
that can cause deposits to collect on v ita l engine
parts, such as fue l injectors and intake va lves. A l­
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 information on TOP TIER Deter­
gent Gasoline, please go to the official website
(www.toptiergas.com).
After an extended period of using inadequate
fuels, built-up carbon deposits can rob your en­
gine of peak performance .
CD Note
-Damage or malf u nction due to poor fuel
quality is not covered by the Audi New Vehi­
cle Limited Warranty.
- Do not add aftermarket fuel additive prod­
ucts to your fuel tank.
Diesel fuel
Applies to veh icles: with d iesel e ng in e
Always use ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel) No. 2.
The ULSD No. 2 meets the ASTM O97S.
Diesel fuel with concentrat ions of biodiesel high­
er than S
% such as B11, B2O or B1OO are strictly
prohibited.
Service station fuel pumps are labeled w ith the
correct fuel information for easy recognition by
the user .
If the diesel fuel pump is not labeled
ask the station operator what fuel is being d is­
pensed before filling up your vehicle.
ULSD No. 2 may not be ava ilab le outside the USA
and Canada. Be sure to check before traveling to
other countries .
Fuel and Refueling
ULSD No. 2 can become thicker in very cold tem ­
peratures, and this can impair the engine's start­
ing and running. Depend ing on the season, gas
stations provide ULSD No. 2 that flows better in cold temperatures so that you can cont inue oper­
ating your vehicle as usual.
CD Note
- Your vehicle's diesel engine was designed
soley for use w ith ULSD No. 2. Therefore,
never use gasoline, heating oil, other fuels
or flow improvers. These contain substances
that will severe ly damage the fuel system
and the engine. Such damage will not be
covered by your New Vehicle Limited War­
ranty.
- If you put any amount of incorrect fuel in
the fuel tank, do not start the engine under
any circumstances. Immediately contact the
nearest authorized Audi dealer or author­
ized Aud i Service Facility for assistance .
These fuels contain substances that can se­
vere ly damage the fuel system and the en­
gine if the engine is started.
Refueling
Fuel filler neck
The fue l filler neck is located on the right rear
side panel behind the fuel filler flap .
If the power lock ing system should fail, you can
still open the flap manually -for detailed instruc­
tions see
¢ page 217.
You can find the fuel tank capacity of your vehicle
in
¢ page 278.
The label on the inside of the fuel f iller flap tells
you the correct fuel for your veh icle. For more in­
formation about fuel specifications, see
¢page 213.
Your vehicle fuel tank has an on-board refuelling
vapor recovery system. This feature helps to pre­
ven t fu el vapors from escap ing from the tank and
polluting the environment while yo u refuel your
vehicle. In order to fill the tank properly while
protecting the environment, please follow this
refueling procedure carefully .

Fuel and R efue lin g
_& WARNING
Under normal operating conditions, never car ­
ry additional fuel containers in your car. Gas
canisters and other containers used to trans­
port fuel can be dangerous. Such containers,
full or empty, may leak and could cause a fire
in a collision. If you must transport fuel to
use for your lawn mower, snow blower, etc.,
be very careful and a lways observe loca l and
state laws rega rding the use, transportation
and sto rage of such fuel containers. Make cer­
tain the container meets industry standards
(ANSI/ASTM F852 -86) .
(D Note
Never d rive you r vehicle unt il the fuel tank is
comp letely empty. The irreg ular supply of
fue l can cause m isfiring. Gasoline cou ld enter
the exhaust system and damage the catalytic
converter.
