Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 99 2.0 HDi P0230 Not starting. Injectors not firin 2 Dec 2009 (Forum)
Hi guys, Long story so here goes.... Bought a 306 HDi that had petrol put into it. The car was drained of the fuel and diesel refilled. Car ran but was a bit lumpy. THe car was traded in at a local garage and a lad bought it, 'drove' it home, parked it up. A friend bought it and decided to change the fuel filter and empty the fuel lines as he said he could smell petrol still. -
Ford Escort (1993 - 2000) - 93-00 - TD poor mpg - not rise in fuel prices! 13 Nov 2009 (Forum)
I'm doing exactly the same journey every day, style of driving is the same, so what's the problem? I'm thinking it's either a dodgy fuel sender beause when I park up at night the gauge reads 1/4 tank say, and when I switch the ignition on in the morning it drops about 2-3 mm and doesn't rise up at all, or maybe a dodgy temp sensor? There are no leaks anywhere in the fuel system. -
Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 04 2.0tdci Won't start; flashing glow plug light 1 Jun 2009 (Forum)
Decided to change fuel filter thinking this was the cause. Got it going again, drove around the estate a few times but stalled again. Would'nt start so left overnight. Next morning would'nt start, battery getting low, called out AA who checked fuel to rail, ok good pressure and a slight pulse to glo plug electronic leads. -
Peugeot 309 (1986 - 1993) - 1989 1.9 possible fuel filter problem 8 Feb 2009 (Forum)
Took it back to the garage; they changed the copper rings near the filter but it made no difference & told me I need a new fuel pump. Recently my radio will cut out - often when I'm going round a bend. I just wanted to ask for some opinions on whether it does seem like I need a new fuel pump before I start hunting for old Peugeot spare parts (new one £60!) -
Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 1999 1.8 - Fuel leak & more 13 May 2008 (Forum)
I have a fuel leak coming from under the filler pipe leading to the fuel tank. Hard to see exactly where from but it looks like it's coming from some way up the pipe leading to the filler cap. It's not gushing (yet!) -
VW TDI misfire solved! 14 Dec 2004 (Forum)
t=24091 ) At first the suspect problem was the connector for the MAF unit, as the engine had cut to default mode once or twice and been restored to normal by fiddling with the connector. BUT, seeing bubbles in the fuel line made me think the misfiring had another cause, air in the fuel I could find no fue leaks and so was baffled. Then I thought "airlock in fuel tank? - no, surely it couldn't be that!" I've heard of blocked fuel tank vents bringing vehicles to a stop, but it seemed too simple. -
