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.

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
