Volkswagen Jetta 2008 FAQs

Can a 2008 Volkswagen Jetta run on 95 octane or run on E10?

All Australian-delivered, fuel-injected Volkswagens built after 1986 can run successfully on E10 petrol. Most E10 petrol in Australia has an octane rating of 94RON, and that’s the lowest you’d want to go. Back in the day, VW said the Jetta was better off with 95RON ULP and was not able to use the standard 91RON stuff that many cars could/can use.

Dealer trust

I'm not surprised the dealer won't budge; he doesn't want to be held responsible for giving poor advice if something happens as a result of missing or extending the service intervals. I would take the same approach and say that you should do the service as they suggest.

Jetta temp. control

Press your case with the company, they should come to the party with a replacement, after all, the car has only done 33,000 km.
