RME fuel (biodiesel) for vehicles up to

05.2006

Note

For vehicles as of 06.2006 RME fuel must not be used.

RME fuel may be used only in vehicles which have been approved

for this purpose by Volkswagen - either in the standard version or

in vehicles which have had special equipment (PR No. 2G0) for

this purpose.

Caution

♦ When RME fuel is used and your vehicle is not suitable for

this, the fuel system can be damaged.

♦ When filling the tank with biodiesel, only use RME fuel

conforming to EN 14214 (FAME)!

♦ When biodiesel is used which does not conform to the re‐

quired standard, the fuel filter can become blocked.

RME fuel must conform to EN 14214 (FAME).
♦ RME means “Rapeseed Methyl Ester”.
♦ EN means “Euro standard”.
♦ FAME means “Fatty Acid Methyl Ester”.
The RME compatibility of the vehicle can be identified by the PR

number 2G0 on the vehicle data sticker 

⇒ page 36

 .

Characteristics of RME fuel
♦ Performance can slightly be lower when using biodiesel.
♦ Fuel consumption can slightly be higher when using biodiesel.
♦ RME can be used in winter at temperatures to approx. -10 °C
♦ At ambient temperatures below -10 °C we recommend using

winter diesel fuel.
