Questions & Answers

What people are asking about this car
Does the 2008 vw EOS use only premium gas?
Source: Yahoo! Answers, 3 answers

Premium gas must be used if you want the car to run at maximum efficiency. Not using premium gas could cause knocking in the engine and more problems then you need with an already expensive to maintain car. Personally I would not take the risk. You cant go wrong with what is recommended. Good day...

It's not covered in the owner's manual 2008 is a split year for engines. If you have an early 2008, (says FSI turbo on the engine cover): http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2547554 If you late 2008 (says TSI on the engine cover), it should be pretty straight forward to change.

More Info

Why should I also consider these? X

The 2008 Volkswagen Eos and its well-executed convertible top have made it a primo choice for the editors of Consumer Reports as well as the editors at TheCarConnection.com.

Other four-seat convertibles like the Pontiac G6 and Chrysler Sebring offer folding hardtops, but their fit and finish fall far below the standard set by the Eos.

The Volvo C70 is more tightly and handsomely built, but its high-strung turbo engines aren't as relaxed as the Eos.

The four-seat Toyota Camry Solara convertible has a fabric roof and a creamy ride, but handling suffers.
