BioDiesel

[spo666]

I have a 2005 2.0TDI. It is feasible to use BioDiesel and if so, does it have any side effects?

[elPaulio]

I'm not 100% sure about the A4m but I know in my Golf GT TDi 140 VW catagorically said that BioDiesel could not be used. And I would assume its the same for the A4!!
Sorry :boggled:

currently in talk with Audi Technical about what needs changing, and getting it done in conjunction with Audi, so that it doesn't void the warranty.

Will let you know...

[spo666]

Thanks for the replies.:Blush:

[tamsila]

did you get any info back from audi about the biodiesel and could you find out if it works in the audi a4 b7 2.0 tdi


thanks

[spo666]

It seems to be bad news i am afraid, everyone I have spoken to says don't use biodiesel in the b7:(

On my 2005 tdi it says under the filler cap

NICHT FUR BIODIESEL!!!!!!!!

:) Can just imagine a German screaming that at me.

[elPaulio]

LOL, me too!!

German in capitals is far too amusing... or maybe its just me :Blush2:

Paul :biglaugh:

I believe its the PDF which is the problem and the quality of the fuel not 100% RME. Just be careful Morrison now sell B30 Bio-Diesel easy to spot as it is an orange pump

There is a statement on the Audi website see link
