Hello everyone,
Which fuel is better for our 6N 1.4 16V?
BP 97 Octane?
or Shell super unleaded?
or any others???

Shell V-Power all the way - its almost 100 RON (or octane). I use it all the time!

I tried optimax and ultimate in my 16v and it had a negative effect - even after a few hundred miles. any slight effect was probably a placebo.
it ran worse, for sure. perhaps slightly more alert to the throttle but it was negligible.
switched back to normal unleaded after a month and was much better regarding smooth running.
