One of the lads who works for me runs a late 90's diesel A3 on chip fat. Some fairly simple mods and he was up and running.
He's from a seaside town, so pays about 20p a litre to a series of local chip shops. Cleans everything out every couple of thousand of miles.
He conceded that it was a bit of a faff at first, but when he worked out the savings, he said it was worth it. Apparently anything later than late 90's VAG cars are just too technical - something to do with the injectors being significantly more complex etc
