VRO6MO Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 A quick question, can the latest TDI engines run on biodiesel and can it run with 100% biodiesel or with a certain ratio of normal diesel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvantSE Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 AFAIK all diesel sold in UK is a blend (5% biodiesel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subzero Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hi, I have a V6 TDi 2001, and i have run it on 100% B100 Bio for over 12 months now, and its fine.... However a few fellow users of bio with newer cars "2004 +" seem to had little problems. One guy has a 54 reg golf tdi and he has hot starting problems, so when the engine is warm it takes a few turns to start again, this seems to be related to the heater plugs not staying on very long when the car has been running. Another guy has a 56 reg Passat Tdi, which has had a splutter or two when running on B100. Both these people have found that running on a manual mix of 50% Bio 50% pump diesel or so resolves any running problems. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
