• Sneaky filling station 19 May 2008 (Forum)
  Local station (Total branded) has 6 diesel pumps. 4 seem to dispense Total "Excellium" which is 128.9p per litre. Fortunately I read the unit price on the LCD dsplay before I started dispensing fuel. I jib at paying 123.9 but I wonder how many other people check the unit cost per litre on the pump before they start filling their tank?
• correct name of pipe/hose - Mk2 Golf 27 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  Merry xmas one and all, its that Golf Mk 2 diesel again. There is a rubberpipe/hose that runs from a nipple under the carb ( do Diesels have a carb ?) to a nipple on the non injector side of the cylinder, its leaking fuel and corroded. does any one know the correct name for this bit, and more importantly where I can buy piece of it about half a metere long, its not reinforced by the way, and its just a push fit, its quite a small bore.

• Freelander 1.8 K-Series Engine Swap 23 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  Is it worth the effort? I suppose if you really did want to keep one of these vehicles mobile, a diesel is the obvious choice - a well installed PSA HDi (with proper fuel filtration) would be my preference. 659. sorted 659 PU

• Shell vs supermarket 27 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  I don't intend to cause regurgitation of a lot of ill-informed arguments, but I think an observation of mine is worth sharing. Recently I have been attempting to use Shell diesel when possible, but the last 4 times I have filled my Polo have been twice from the Shell station and twice at Tesco. Both times at Tesco I have noticed the fuel markedly more frothy and difficult to get brimmed full (to measure fuel consumption - anally retentive I know...)
• HJ Renault ECO2 diesel - HJ-PR advertorial drivel 20 May 2011 (Forum)
  As well as downsizing (and down weighting), it has a low pressure Exhaust Gas Recirculation system. This takes hot exhaust gases after they have passed through the diesel particulate filter, cools them, passes them back through the intercooler at relatively low pressure, then recombusts them at optimum temperature in the combustion chambers. Multi injection that involves injecting fuel during the combustion process as well as before helps create the necessary temperature to regenerate the particulate filter, however the engine is being used.
