Thumbs up

I've put normal petrol in before (not because I wanted to !!) and just took It easy not taking the car over 3000rpm,It should be ok have you had a remap for optmiax or V power?? If so like I said just take It easy try to avoid the super markets It's the s**t that nobody else wants (so I've been told)

No, you'll be fine, the wagon runs a less aggresive map than the saloons and lower boost levels.

Just don't beast it.
