BP Ultimate surprising result.

Just out of interest what is the  mileage ?

 Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to one and all. Hope you all have good touring in 2017.

So it took only a couple of miles to empty the pump and pipework of the old fuel?     I do hope you are right as there are so many miracle  cure stories.

Post back again after a few more miles

There was a similar thread about Premium Fuel versus Supermarket brands recently and I was the only one who commented on seeing an improvement both in MPG,trottle response and torque whilst using either Shell or BP premium fuels.Granted I dont use those brands all the time but when towing I do .Wether its worth the extra expense is another issue .My car is also a Passat 150 Tdi estate.

Only done 3500 miles. Can't comment on mpg etc. All I know at the moment is that it feels a different engine. Will report back on mpg's later. Merry Xmas all. 

Well that shows you know nowt CJ

Diesels take around 10-12k miles to be fully run-in so there could be other factors involved too, maybe simply using a different brand of regular diesel would also have worked. However I am also a user of premium brand fuels and often use Vmax or similar when towing. However CJ will no doubt be back to provide his industry take on the claimed benefits of premium fuels over supermarket unbranded fuels......

LOL!

I have decided that:

a) Its Christmas.

b) Its a natural selection / Darwin award type thing!

When I had an Audi the dealer made a point of saying full power would not be available until 3K miles.

Probably why your 148bhp engine is now producing more power.

Yes at least 10K.

My last Xtrail took 20K miles, after that there was a noticeable power increase with improved MPG, very annoying because I change at 30K so see little of any increase.

I would be happy with an engine already on 10K miles, but with a 3 year warranty, and all the other parts unused.
