Volkswagen Jetta Problems

No car is perfect, but we've gathered everything relating to the Volkswagen Jetta reliability here to help you decide if it's a smart buy.

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

Answered by CarsGuide 22 Nov 2022

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.
