hello,
I'm here for the first time today and I've noticed that some TDI drivers are filling up with RME (biodiesel).
Manufacturers find it easy to grant the necessary approvals.
Does the use of RME (biodiesel) lead to vehicle owners having to return to the workshop for repairs in the long term?
RME demonstrably and permanently damages fuel pump components and injectors, as it is very aggressive. Furthermore, it causes deposits to form on the injectors and within the engine itself.
However, these effects only become apparent in the long term, long after the vehicles are no longer covered by the warranty.
I will not elaborate further on the lower performance and higher consumption of RME here, as these aspects are generally well-known.
Furthermore, RME reacts with mineral diesel in a similar way to paraffinization at low temperatures, which can clog the diesel filters.
Therefore, if someone consistently follows the manufacturer's instructions and fills up with mineral diesel every four tankfuls, they are more likely to need to visit the workshop for a filter change.
The latest trick from the oil companies is to adulterate diesel with renewable materials.
'ARAL is the only brand company to admit this, but it assures that the percentage will not be higher than the harmless 5%.'
However, even in free societies, the mineral diesel tax rate has been as high as 25%.
So, always drink that delicious 'sausage water' and fill up at Aral!
keeps the car and driver fit!
