Will ned to be pumped out. Also baring in mind that these are a saddle tank, so both sides will need to be emptied.

So much for my trouble free motoring dreams, At least this isn't VW's issue
Get a call from my wife about what to do if someone hypothetically put the wrong fuel in a car......
She stopped at 8L of BP ultimate.... Unleaded.
At least she had the presence of mind not to just fill with diesel on top.
Got her towed to local garage and they are sussing out what to do now.
Car was not started but keys did go in to put in neutral & disengage park brake.
Does anyone know the best process as these guys are not VW mechanics. They are proposing to syphon out tank measuring what comes out. Then just top up and run it.

He looked at the tank and said exactly that.Originally Posted by Umai Naa!!
They are going to try a jiggler and syphon what they can out. Then suggested filling with diesel and that's it.
Went with local mechanic as My local vw dealer said they can't look at it for a week.
Should I recommend them to pump it?

I've done the same thing myself. If it hasn't been run on unleaded, all you need to do is empty, refill and away you go. Lesson learned.
But, yes, I'd check that they meant to say "filled with diesel", but that's what it looks like.
Maybe you could ask for a rebate on the ULP they took out?

I generally pay 1.3 - 1.37 every time. Outside metro it drops to 1.18 or thereabouts.
