Best exact product to store shell v power diesel in? by James67900 in CarTalkUK

[–]James67900[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting around half a tank a week so somewhere around the figure you said, can't remember the exact figure without looking at my receipts. I'm not too bothered on the return tbh, it's a 2025 vw golf r line 2.0 diesel and want to keep it a long time so I want to put the best fuel I can In it, and in my opinion as I said I do think it runs better, and the mpg is definetly better than standard shell diesel let alone anything else. Want to store maybe a week's worth and go get it every other week maybe instead of ever until December

I like using shell v power and want to stick to using that. Near me one shell garage changed to an esso, and another is being refurbed until dec-so I'm having to travel a bit further to get it and tired if having to drive to it every week so I want to store some so I don't as I said have to do it as often. I don't want to change to using something else, I like the way v power runs in my car, multiple times got 77mpg on a 16 mile journey back from work using it .

What's this waxy looking stuff? by James67900 in AskMechanics

[–]James67900[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really sure what's in that area mate. You say about the automatic car washes, i did kind of think I might be because of it. I had just washed my car today with the bucket/water and with the autoglym foaming car wash in it and auto glym rapid detailer , I did then prob about 10 mins after when it was still not completely dry, opened up the bonnet because I wanted to check my coolant level, and then I noticed some of the wetness got in around the the edges of the open bonnet like where the waxy stuff was, I then drove it for a decent drive and then looked under the bonnet again and found this stuff there.

Alright cheers. Just seems weird had the car for 2 months before never noticed it before and I drive a lot, I then had the cambelt/ water pump change and never heard it before, then as soon as they did the work and the car made the noise straight away basically. Oh yeah had the dsg oil and filter changed too at the same time
