• Vw golf mk5 1.9 tdi - Fuel pump problems and some 16 Mar 2019 (Forum)
  Also today the car kind of struggled to start and shook a bit but started nevertheless...is this a problem to do with the air mass fuel sensor, spark plugs or the fuel pressure regulator? And it's due a service so this weekend I will put fuel injector cleaner in then change fuel, air and oil filters and I think maybe the spark plugs will need to be changed also.
• Mercedes ML250 - Help....Fuel System Needs Replacing? 14 Nov 2014 (Forum)
  The car has been in to the main dealer 4 times, they have tried various things but failed to find the problem. They have just rang to say there are iron-filings in the fuel, this is caused by the some part of the fuel system (pump?) breaking up and must have been due to a mis-fuel (i.e. I’ve put petrol in a diesel engine) and a lack of lubrication. They say this is the cause of the stalling and the Mercedes warranty is obviously therefore invalid.

• 1997 Peugeot 306 XTDT - Starting issues with hard to crank and big smoke 19 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  Apart from number one son driving into a  river in Queensland and filling the motor full of water he has had the spare fuel injector pump fitted, bent rims, had serious fuel problems etc and I am about to get the car back. My first concern is to find out why the fuel bowl has to be used to pump the fuel up after standing overnight.

• Mitsubishi Shogun/Pajero (1991 - 1999) - 95 2.8td Fuel system bleeding (diesel) 20 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  The only thing I can think of is air in the fuel system from doing the fuel filter, yet I bled and primed it as suggested in the service manual. I'm thinking maybe I didn't spend enough time bleeding, only problem is trying to avoid getting diesel everywhere.
• Cavalier Diesel wont start 12 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  Have checked all fuses, relays, wires, timing belt, also connected a direct cable from battery + term to idle stop solenoid (fuel cut-off) it clicked every time I touched the terminal on the solenoid. I also disconnected 1 of the fuel pipe unions from the injector and turned the engine over, no fuel came through. Did the same with 1 pipe union at the fuel injection unit (1 of the 4 pipes) still no fuel came through.Glow plugs warm up normal.
• Ford Focus TDDI misfire 23 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  It does it when the engine is hot or cold but has never done it when just idling. I have checked the fuel pipes incase it could be an air leak and changed the fuel filter. I am now waiting for the fuel tank to run low incase it is contaminated fuel which I purchased from a different forecourt to my usual, as I was on holiday at the time.
