  Hi there, Can you please tell me where I would find the fuel pump on a Citroen C5 HDi 2002 model? Is there a pump in the tank itself or is it under the back seat like in most Peugeots? If anybody has pictures / etc on how to replace one that would be a huge help Thanks.

• Asda Fuel Discount Cut 8 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  For those using the Asda Credit card to purchase fuel from their pay at pump set ups, the 2p discount given for such use will be reduced on 28th Feb to 1p. This will last only as long as your card is valid and will cease on expire date. They say this is because we, the customer, have asked for reward points instead in the letter that passed on this news.

  I have a 1995 306 STDT sedan, with an XUD9 engine and a lucas fuel pump. I'm considering replacing it with a bosch pump (from a scrapyard or similar probably!), for better reliability with biofuels, but how much of a job is this? Will I need to remove the cambelt to do it?

• Xsara 2.0 HDI fuel problem 10 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  Anyone come across a problem with the 2.0 hdi citroen xsara (2001) engine whereby the engine is prone be to very slow at pulling away in first gear and intermittent non starting. I thought it was the fuel pump as is the usual culprit on this model so had that changed recently and the problem was better but seems to be still there, the lack of power low down under accelleration has never gone away??
• extra weight = extra fuel? 1 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  Im just curious to know how much weight in the boot would make a significant difference to fuel economy I carry a tool box around (always have) with around 15-20kgs and lots of people have said it would make a fair bit of difference. I cant see it myself but just wondered if anyone knew how much extra weight would start to inrease consumption

• Fuel price differential 17 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  I've never been able to understand people going seriously out of their way to pay 1p less per litre for fuel, but this afternoon the BP garage on one side of the road was selling diesel for 94.9p per litre (and it's on the way out of a retail park), and the Shell garage on the other side had it at 89.9. 22.5 p per gallon less!
• Clio Dci - Changing Fuel Filter question 8 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  Whilst servicing an 03 plate Clio Dci, I was wondering how you bleed the air when changing the fuel filter or do you simply prime the filter using hand pump and the pump's then self bleeding. I'm new to this new Dci setup and was concerned about anything going wrong. Any advice would be appreciated.
• Fuel Additives & MOT Emissions 24 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  Apologies if this has been done before. If fuel additives (redex etc) claim to reduce emissions, will they help on your MOT test at all?? Seems too good to be true to me. It's a 1992 1108cc phase 1 Renault Clio- failed on CO. Furthermore, it's about the only non-cat clio- the test centre will know this won't they?
• Rover 75 fuel gauge 6 Sep 2005 (Forum)

• Fuel Consumption 9 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  I recently discovered a little display option on my dash that gives average mpg current mpg (that one is depressing usually) distance to empty This is what comes from having a mobile computer for a car, I suppose. An old fashioned fuel gauge I could figure out and pretty much understood how it measured the contents of the tank. So can someone explain in simple English, how all the new stuff is measured and calculated?
• Peugeot 406 hdi fuel leak 27 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  It seems to only happen above 2500rpm (80mph+)and apart from this the engine runs fine. I have had the injector unions checked and changed the fuel supply/return pipes just in front of the cylineer head, where the leak appears to be. could it be a partially blocked return pipe ? thanks Simon
