Why I've used Shell V-Power since it arrived!!

Unread post by mickthemaverick »

All my cars have been run exclusively, as Jim will confirm when out with me, on Shell V-Power since they named it that and on the top Shell product before that from 1968 onwards. I have never had any issues with engines caused by gum or carbon build up, maybe this video explains why!! :-D

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Hmmmm, I only got a minute or two into that before turning off as it's AI generated and AI narrated. However..... that doesn't mean I disagree with the basic premise of 'you get what you pay for' 8-[

I used this in my audi a3 1.6tdi 90k no issues with dpf egr etc, gave it to my daughter who had done 4k using supermarket diesel it broke down with injector fault, needed 1 replacing due to carbon build up , unfortunatly i can't afford over £2.00 a ltr or i would use it in my berlingo . it is good stuff .

I've used Tesco Momentum in my cars without any problems,was about seven pence a litre more expensive than E10 but they have since increased the difference.
