Tips
It may take longer to start the engine
when the outside temperature is very cold.
If possible, use winterized fuel if tempera-
tures are below freezing.
Gasoline additives
A major concern among many auto manufac-
turers is carbon deposit build-up caused by
the type of gasoline you use.
Although gasoline grades differ from one
manufacturer to another, they have certain
things in common. All gasoline grades contain
substances that can cause deposits to collect
on vital engine parts, such as fuel injectors
and intake valves. Although most gasoline
brands include additives to keep engine and
fuel systems clean, they are not equally effec-
tive.
Audi recommends using TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline. For more information on TOP TIER
Detergent 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
engine of peak performance.

such fuel containers. Make certain the con-
