• Peugeot 106 2000.Is it the fuel 11 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  hi there,just hoping to confirm something.Since filling at tesco in basingstoke i havehad probs when accelerating.It tends to cut off and then go.But has not stalled.The engine warning light is on.I am aware of the fuel contamination.I phoned peugot.They told me that this model does not have a catalytic convertor,so the best way to get it sorted is to fill it up with high octane fuel at Bp so it dilutes.

• 1995 cavalier 1.7TD fuel problems 26 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  I had an earlier post about oil levels and smoke in this car... I have changed the oil and fuel filters and also replaced the oil. Now my car wont start. I think it is an airlock. I have filled the fuel filter with diesel prior to fitting. The engine ran for a short while then started to labour before cutting out and now it wont start.
• VW tdi fuel filter 20 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  Evening All, My VW Bora tdi has lost power. It's perfectly driveable but has lost a lot of oomph. I'd like to change the fuel filter just to see what difference this would make. How do I do this? I've located the filter, but I imagine I would have to depressurise the fuel system before tackling the job. This is the bit that I need information for.

• Diesel fuel additives 12 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  I have used Millers Diesel Power Plus for many years in my 11 year old Passat. Skoda discourage use of fuel additives on the basis that engines are designed with modern fuels in mind. I would be grateful for your opinions on whether it would be a good thing to continue using this product in the new car, a waste of money or positively a bad move.

• Any - Fuel Prices 24 Jun 2025 (Forum)
  Not wishing to instigate a political debate, but are we expecting fuel prices to rise as a result of Saturday night’s US air strikes on Iran? I see now that Iran are threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil passes.

• fuel figures 3 May 2012 (Forum)
  The EU fuel figures are ridiculous. However the U.S. government publishes figures which are much more realistic, and compare well with the honestjohn realmpg website. Look on www.fueleconomy.gov .
