Gasoline additives
Applies to vehicles: with gasoli ne engine
A major concern among many auto manufactur-
ers is carbon deposit build- up ca used by the type
of gasoline you use.
Although gasoline grades d iffer from one manu-
facturer to another, they have certain things in
common. All gaso line 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 information
on TOP TIER Deter-
gent Gasoline, please go to the official website
(www.toptiergas.com).
After an extended pe riod of using inadequate
fue ls, built-up carbon depos its can rob your en-
gine of peak performance.

Diesel fuel
Applies to vehicles: with diesel engine
Always use ULSD (Ultra Low Su lfur Diesel) No. 2 .
The ULSD No . 2 meets the ASTM D97S.
Diese l fuel with concentrations
of biodiesel high-
er than S % such as 811,820
or 8100 are strictly
prohibited.
Service station fuel pumps are labeled with the
correct fue l information
for easy recognition by
the user. If the diesel fuel pump is not labeled
ask the station operator what fuel is be ing dis-
pensed before filling up your vehicle .
ULSD No. 2 may not be availab le outside the USA
and Canada . Be sure to check before traveling to
other countries .

ULSD No. 2 can become thicke r 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 continue oper-
at ing your vehicle as usual.
