Thread: Hi flow diesel adaptor

Not necessary, don't be in a rush, just open the trigger slowly to get a flow rate that the filler neck can handle

As Nicky said, the nozzle fits, you just use about half trigger to meet the cars flow capacity

Thanks for above . Will try again before departure. VW makes an adaptor for the hi flow nozzle overseas. Might enquire locally.

The filler neck is wide enough to take hi flow nozzles on a D2.

I actually increased the size of my breather after having some nightmare foaming issues especially out in the hot areas of the country where the fuel gets quite warm.

I am led to believe that the new diesel fuel coming into Australia now has anti-foaming properties.

Just squeeze the lever judiciously.

On a side note, how did you do this? Did it solve the problem? I usually fill up using hiflow because of the 150l tank.

I use the high flow pumps in my D3 all the time. With the long range tank it takes upwards of 10-15 minutes to fill up on a normal bowser. I have no problems but do ensure it is fully in and do also start and finnish slow.

DiscoJeffster, is that on a D4 or just on a D3? I briefly had a MY09 D3 and from memory I think the hi-flow would fit but not on my MY12 D4 (although I tried only once).

Mines a D4 and I've used a high flow. It doesn't go all the way in, but far enough to fill.
