Take a look on your chassis number on top of the driver side strut tower, I'm pretty sure that begins with AA, AB, or AC....
I think most of the guys here would agree that 98RON is the preferred fuel regardless of model... I use it in all my cars!
Oh, TC06 was in AA, and AB... AC has the smaller TC05.
Hope that helps!

Fuk, thanx Steve, u were spot on, it's an ab..... Also if u might be able to help! The cordia I have purchased of my mate, he bought it off a guy about 7 yrs ago, who said the engine had been rebuilt, but I'm not too sure to tell if that's true or not! And also he had never signed any transfer papers, and now I'm plannin on getting this thing registered pretty soon, but not sure as to how I do it as I have no contact wit the previous registered owner, and neither does my mate, what u reckon?
I wouldnt worry about it if I were you, even if it had been rebuilt 7 years ago, Im sure it has been driven hard since. Best way for peace of mind is to conduct a leak down or compression test on the engine. If the pressures are within reasonable tolerances, keep on trucking!! If not, rebuild/VR4 time.

Ok I'll organize to get that done, but when my mate purchased it, he was plannin on redoing the whole body, but it sat in one place in his back yard for 7 yrs only being started occasionally.... But thanx for the info guys! Cheers



Oh and also, is there any was of distinguishing the model type or fuel type?
