After searching a lot, since I live in Uttrakhand and there are only 2 service centers there, I didnt find any additive and information about it in nearby center.

Hello,
I own a Polo GT 1.2 TSI 2019 model.
The car has driven 55k.
My queries- How to use the VW recommended additives?
Initially they gave me 2 bottles of additives at second service. First they poured it themselves and second for me after 150 km( no further instruction).
In my next service, I asked for additives and they said its only given in alternate services.
Then I started to scratch my head because they didnt have a proof for what they are saying. Moreover booklet had nothing special mentioned about it. And they didnt have it in stock also because it came directly from Germany. G 001780M3 was the additive they used to give.
After searching a lot, since I live in Uttrakhand and there are only 2 service centers there, I didnt find any additive and information about it in nearby center.
I searched a lot and I had the opportunity to go to Delhi. Went to the service center, asked about the additive, and they gave me another one- G 001770A2. Saying the past model G 001780M3 is not coming anymore.
It was cheaper too. And instructions were written to pour the bottle in full tank( compared to past additive which was unavailable and wrote to add in half tank)
I talked to the service advisor but they didnt have any satisfactory answer about when to add additives and what next to do with car( how to drive after adding additive)
I searched in google and chat GPT so I came accross an article about the use of this additive.
Now my question is-
1. I use mostly XP95 in my car. Do I still need to use additive?
2. As the service men said that use it in alternate services, are they right?
3. The article which I searched said if top tier fuel is not available, use it in every 5k km. Now what is the criteria for top tier fuel? Is it 91/95/97 or 100 octane fuel? I dont have any idea about that( because its not mentioned in the article and its a US based one)
4. The article also says use S mode while driving and then add other additive after 100 miles. So we have to drive 100 miles in S mode after adding the first additive? And if so, after addition of second additive, do we have to drive in S mode again? (because its not written any where). And if so then for how my Km shall we go for S mode after second additive addition.
5. I have recently got my ECU tuned stage 1. Will Driving with S mode be an issue with my DSG for a long run? Or should I get the TCU tuned as well? The prices for TCU tuning is 20 k approximately by GT tunerz, Delhi.
6. If additives are very important and if better additives are there in market I will go for that. I have heard about ‘Add on P’ by Indian oil. ( Made in France). Which one would be better?
I didnt know where to put this thread in S mode or Additive section.
Yesterday only I have added the additive to full tank( as wriiten ) and I have covered around 20 km in S mode.
Kindly suggest.
