220 Fuel
Operation in winter
Winter-grade diesel fuel
A different grade of diesel fuel is available at filling stations in winter than during the
summer. Using "summer-grade diesel fuel" at temperatures below 0°C can result in
operational problems because the diesel becomes viscous as a result of paraffin
separation.
It is therefore the case that DIN EN 590 prescribes diesel fuel class for certain
periods of the year which can also be purchased at the corresponding time during
the year. "Winter-grade diesel fuel" will still operate properly even at a temperature
of -20°C.
It is often the case in countries with different climatic conditions that diesel fuels
available have a different temperature characteristic. The authorised Škoda Service
Partners and filling stations in the country concerned will be able to provide you
with information regarding the diesel fuels available.
Prewarming fuel
The vehicle is fitted with a fuel filter prewarming system. This secures operation of
a vehicle using diesel fuel down to an environmental temperature of -25°C.
Caution
It is not permitted to add the various fuel additives on the market, including petrol,
to diesel fuel in order to improve its flow properties.
