Specification for using multi-purpose  
additive for diesel fuel  
Note  
In the market mentioned below there is a particularly high  
risk of deposits forming on the injectors and inlet valves  
owing to the quality of the fuel.  
To counteract the formation of deposits, a multi-purpose ad‐  
ditive for diesel fuel must be added.  
Only additives compliant with VW 505 26 (multi-purpose ad‐  
ditive G 001 790 M3) may be used.  
After adding the additive, it is extremely important to fully  
refuel the vehicle to achieve optimal effectiveness of the  
additive.
