Thanks LUC.. I followed the links you gave and a few more.... great stuff !! I'm quite convinced & agree that SVO/WVO is probably not recommended or good for the newer 04/05 TDI models but B100 should be a none issue and have no damaging effects on a newer TDI diesel engine.. Winters in Manitoba is a different issue.. :-)
