im picking up my 1st scoob tomoz, an 'X' reg UK 2000 turbo the previous owner has a lot of v-power recipts, should i continue to use v-power or equivelent or is it fine to run on normal unleaded?

sorry forgot to mention the engine is standard bar a panel filter,de-cat and exhaust..

many thanks Benn

 

i use v power mate but now and again i use that premium stuff, personally i wudnt use the normal stuff, welcome to the site mate.

 

i have had 4 english subarus run well on shell dosnt need vpower wasting your money.

 

i agree....i run my sti on normal unleaded or super......why waste your money on Vpower.....i know lots swear by it, but hey.....money is money at the end of the day.....

 

V POWER is must if you worry about a couple of pence a ltr you have bought the wrong moto you will find that your hand will allways be in your pocket WELCOME BUDDY

 

A Turbo 2000 will be OK on normal unleaded. Supposedly it'll "run better" with Super. If you want to use Super, then V-Power or Tesco 99RON Super both get a good press (but BP super does not).

 

Just do a little test mate...If it's been run on V power for so long use what's left in the tank and get a good feel for how it runs and delivers it's power...

THEN

Run it on Normal and see if it makes a difference Easy.IMO i wouldn't run any performance car on anything less than the best.

 

Read what it says on the inside of the petrol flap.

Has anyone seen how much difference there is between a full tank of unleaded and a full tank of super?
I use a tank a week, multiply that by 52 and I'm no where near a rebuild cost.
I had the same "it wont happen to me" attitude when I bought my Legacy RS.

Bought it in Wigan, filled it with some sort of unleaded petrol(never heard of it before) and the big ends were gone by the time I arrived home in Scotland.

250 miles at 80mph=3000 rebuild.

Luckily someone pulled out in front of me at a set of lights after 2 weeks of ownership and wrote it off for me and I bought a UK Impreza and use NOTHING other than Tesco99.

Thats just my experience and opinion though.
