Renault Espace (1985 - 1997) - 93 2.1TD stalls on return journey 7 Mar 2009 (Forum)
It looks as is there is a problem when the engine cools down, but does not get fully cold. The car has new fuel and air filters, most fuel lines are new and a recently replaced injection pump. Fuel comes from a variety of filling stations. When the car runs, it is a fantastic vehicle to drive, it is becoming too stressful to use on regular journeys with a short turn-around time. -
Vauxhall Astra G Petrol (1998 - 2004) - 03 1.6 LPG for dummies? 29 Apr 2008 (Forum)
Or is there any kind soul who could explain how it all works! I know how to fill 'em up OK, but the finer points of the Vauxhall Dual Fuel is the gap in the knowledge. There is a switch to swap between petrol & LPG - does the LPG kick in straight away, or is it after a delay? Also how does the fuel gauge work? Allegedly it reads both petrol & gas on the same dial but I cannot fathom how. -
Vauxhall Vectra C (2002 - 2008) - Diesel Fuel Quality 30 Oct 2007 (Forum)
If my tank of ordinary Shell diesel contained water or particles then surely diluting it with 30 litres of fresh diesel wouldnt make the slightest difference. Ive generally used Shell fuels believing them to be one of the better brands but is this a quality problem or something else? -
Renault Scenic (1999 - 2003) - Idle Erratic 1.9 Dci intermitent fault 22 Oct 2007 (Forum)
Cause: Dirt in fuel pressure regulator on rear of H.P fuel Pump. Repair: Remove main engine cover Plastic. On rear of pump you will see a round unit with a multiplug on it with a terminal plug. Remove the 2 torque Bolts, and slowly pull out the regulator (reg) check "O"rings are not split, if there are you can get these from Local Lucas Deisel Centre's and no need to replace the complete unit. -
Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 2000 (W) 2.0 HDi Economy - locked thread. 9 Oct 2007 (Forum)
Can a damaged cat converter decrease fuel economy? i recently purchased a 2000/w 306 2.0hdi and found its givng me the same mpg as my previous 306 2.0xsi petrol, which was around 150 miles from 20 litres of fuel (100miles motorway and 50 urban), i am doing the same journey and getting the same fuel economy. -
Dead Mini 9 May 2005 (Forum)
I've replaced the plugs, rotor arm and distributor cap, and checked every plug is sparking ok, which they are. Fuel supply is ok, and i keep taking the plugs out after a good bout of churning it over, and they are wet with fuel. So, i have a spark and i have fuel, but they don't seem to want to get together and fire!!!! -
Renault Kangoo - Double pre-heat 1 Jul 2004 (Forum)
So far the responses from Renault have been "can't find anything wrong with it", "We have tightened the fuel pump and checked for leaks", and, once again, "we can't find anything wrong with it". On this occasion, they have found an entry in the error log relating to the problem (which was missing on all previous visits), and the diagnosis is a faulty fuel pump. -
Fuel injector cleaner 25 Nov 2001 (Forum)
Whilst purchasing various items to service the Cavalier with (I used semi-synth oil this time, you're right David W, I do feel better about everything now!) I spotted a bottle of fuel injector cleaner. Now, being reasonably flush at the moment I thought I'd treat the car to a bottle which cost just under a fiver as what harm could it do? Several were available, all from quite "major" companies all claiming to do much the same thing. -

my 2005 ford focus 1.6 tdci as developed a power loss problem. it will be driving ok then all of a sudden it just as no power, as though there is a blockage in the fuel line. its only for a couple of seconds, it loses power, growls a little and gives out a puff of smoke and then its fine again for a few moments then it does it again. its generally ok at higher speeds. its just been serviced, all the filters done, fuel filter changed twice just in case that was the problem, and i always use shell v-power diesel or similar. please help. -
Chrysler Voyager SE - Engine losing power while driving 31 Jan 2012 (Forum)
Could keep going short distances but then lost power completely. Usually started again after 10 minutes to an hour. Symptoms of fuel starvation, but garage could not find problem, despite running Chrysler diagnostics. Eventually one garage, which had experience of this model of this age, correctly identified the fault as the rev counter on the crank shaft (and possibly cam shaft too) being faulty and sending wrong information to the fuel injector.
