91 also cannot? Rubbish.

Over here the VW will take 87
 
And there I thought sinkies knew shit all about their cars, it turns out that Kiwis are just as bad. Simi lancheow a lousy VW Gold need 95 RON meh? This NZ Motor Vehicles Dispute Tribunal is an even worse wayang then most PAP institutes. This fucking kind of Golf is your run of the mill Golf, and designed to run on the cheapest fuel. Unless its a Golf GTI, then it does not need 95 RON. The car is already 8 years old, and for shitty german cars, serious engine problems are to be expected. Even in that year, the engine knock sensor would have compensated for the lower grade fuel. Hence 91 RON should have been good enough. Judging from the crack piston rings and cylinder damage, My guess is the timing chain broke on the Golf. Not an uncommon failure, even among timing chains.

agreed. the root cause is not the lower grade of petrol. modern day VWs and Audis have more and more design flaws and use cheap materials, all in the name of cost cutting. direct injection causes severe carbon build up in the intake manifold, valves, cams and pistons. plastic water pumps fail at around 100k km. ignition coil packs fail very easily. not forgetting other shitty components like diverter valves, positive crankcase vent valves, cam followers, CV drive shaft boots, sagging roofliner. And the infamous 7-speed DSG gearbox stuck in one gear due to faulty mechatronics.

correct. don’t need ronron 95 for such a low end german car. timing belt issues are prevalent in bmws and vws. i had to change the timing belt on my old bmw twice within a 6-9 year span. the other recurring problem is electrical short at the brake lights. they forgot to ground the wiring to chassis.

in u.s and canada, (r+m)/2 is used. i call it the moron number as it’s derived from mon and ron. in sg and nz, only ron is used. thus octane rating in america is usually lower than ron ratings as mon is usually lower as test engine is revved up to 969 rpm. for ron measurements test engine runs lower speed at 696 rpm. so your vw can take moron 87 or 89 and ron 91. my old bmw has been fueled with moron 89 for over 9.6 years and there was not an engine problem sexcept for 2 timing belt cracks within a span of 6.9 years.

what so the sinkie petrol is actually inferior but MORE EXPENSIVE! Shit!
 
agreed. the root cause is not the lower grade of petrol. modern day VWs and Audis have more and more design flaws and use cheap materials, all in the name of cost cutting. direct injection causes severe carbon build up in the intake manifold, valves, cams and pistons. plastic water pumps fail at around 100k km. ignition coil packs fail very easily. not forgetting other shitty components like diverter valves, positive crankcase vent valves, cam followers, CV drive shaft boots, sagging roofliner. And the infamous 7-speed DSG gearbox stuck in one gear due to faulty mechatronics.
Tat y I stick with nip cars.

sinkie petrol is not inferior. it’s just a different octane rating method. in america, moron 92 is the highest you can find at costco and you need to go to some gas stations to find a higher moron, while in sg you can easily find very high ron ratings, such as 98. in sg if it’s recommended to use ron 95, sinkies will opt for 98 as they think their cars are supercars and they are in an f1 race on sinkie roads with relatively low speed limits.

bushtucker, that bigot and prejudiced idiot question is ' guess which race ' .
your answer is wrong.
but your gave an intelligent , factual and useful reply .
very good , full mark !!

Yeah, Audi engines, also used by VW are notorious for carbon buildup even though you can buy the fuel with the best detergent package.
