Purchasing diesel abroad

Using premium fuel (Shell V-Power) seems to be the only way to avoid particle filter problems with AUDI A3 in the UK.

What grade Diesel do I need to purchase on Mainland Europe to avoid the same problem?

Answered by Honest John

The same. The grades are duplicate there and Shell is available everywhere.

Good choice of engines. Some petrol engines now chain cam. Comfortable and well built interior. cheap to run 1.6 TDI. Feels very refined especially on the motorway.
