Hi All
On a trip to fill up the Seicento today, I noticed that my local garage has started to sell the new E10 petrol. This has sort of passed me by so far so having read a little bit about it on various forums I understand it is coming in in a couple weeks time.
Would appreciate some advice. Can this be used in the 2001 version of the Seicento. The government website is not overly helpful as it says it should be fine from 2001 onwards.....however, I am assuming a 2001 registered car has an earlier engine....
I understand the engine will still run ok with out change, however the extra ethanol will put strain on the rubber components and seals over a period of time? Otherwise is it worth switching to super unleaded which will still be E5 rated. I have never used the super unleaded, high octane fuel in the Seicento before, but do use in my daily driver - as this is a modern higher performance engine.....
