No.

She probably won't get home, well not driving that car.

Please let us all know how you / she gets on.



There again, the car might go like a rocket !

what car/engine exactly?
a pd may suffer but an earlier one would probably be ok after a while,
although it will run like a bag a hammers for a while.

Its a P reg tdi 110, with 20 liters of petrol and filled up with diesel, she drove home and no probs so far

fingers crossed it will be ok,she's not the first,and won't be the last to do it. everyone makes mistakes, that's why they put bits of rubber on pencils.

I would think it would be ok, diesels of that age are fairly hardy and not as sensitive as modern up to date ones.

Audi will recommend you change near enough everything, but you will probably get away with a new fuel filter, tank drain and a full tank for diesel.

Hi there
Yes I did it to my wife's golf diesel 50/50 mix, Oh the shame!? we got home, just, it seemed to foam and cut out for a while and then restart as if no problem. I drained down into my nearly full heating oil tank, replaced the filter and refilled. No lasting damage to car, or heating, but same can't be said for my reputation.
