do you think a 1987 LT35 2.4 petrol engine should require fuel additive?
I've always run it on neat unleaded but it does cough a bit.

Any VW from 1975 ish onwards is capable of running unleaded without engine damage, but some engines with higher compression ratios will pink on the lower quality fuel and need the timing retarding a tad to overcome.
