• Hyundai i40 1.7 diesel - Remap 7 Sep 2018 (Forum)
  So on my 3rd i40, it's not anywhere near as fuel efficient as my last 2. I'm wondering if perhaps as its euro 6, something somewhere is impacting on fuel.? So I spoke to tuning guys who can do a remap. My question is, will this put added strain on the clutch and DMF?

• Vw Golf 1.6 tdi - Shake on deceleration??? 13 Apr 2017 (Forum)
  I have had the car plugged in with the latest version of VCDs but no codes are apparent.  I happened to have to go further the other day to get fuel, and the fuel warning light came on with 35 miles reading until empty. I am almost positive this shake had went away when this happened, but once filled up again it reappeared.  Has anybody come across this before?

• 55reg mondeo 115 2l - mondeo not starting 1 Apr 2015 (Forum)
   he then put the injector back and now its just cranking over and over with a fault of low fuel pressure when cranking. but it did run before he took apart.  we had another injector which allowed the engine run before  he did above, So put the injector back and coded it back in, and  try and it is still coming up with low fuel pressure.
• Ford Focus 1.6tdci - Ford Focus 1.6tdci oil level increasing 11 Feb 2015 (Forum)
   Does the engine oil lubricate the fuel pump? Could there be a leaking seal on that? Any Help/Advice greatly appreciated.  
• Audi A3 1.8t - Audi A3 non starter?. 4 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  Sometimes if left for several hours it will start without fault and run/start fine until the next time it happens?. Ive read about fuel pump relays going so tried another relay, no joy so guess its not the relay. Previous owner recently had a new cam sensor hoping to solve the problem. No joy. Fuel pump primes fine every time ignition is turned on so guess its not that?.
• BMW 3 Series E46 320d SE - Diesel Contaminated with petrol from Morrisons 2 Apr 2014 (Forum)
  Hi Everyone New to this Forum.  I was wondering if anyone had had any problems with diesel fuel from a Morrisons filing station?   My car was nearly empty and running fine.  I filled to the brim £76.23 on 8th March, I have the receipt stating 'Diesel'.  2 days later my car started to misfire badly, I couldn't get it to a garage within 2 days and I was going away for a week after that, so 2 weeks elapsed between me filling and the garage telling me I had petrol in my fuel tank and a lot of damage had been done.
• Vauxhall Astra 1.7 diesel 1999 - Astra diesel wont run.......... 16 Nov 2013 (Forum)
  There appears to be no fuel reaching the pump, but it seems unlikely to be a pump issue in light of the money recently spent.  I read on-line of a bod with similar symptoms, who said it was a dry joint in the ecu, and advised me to pop it open and check for some burning inside.

• Citroen Xantia 2.0hdi 2000 model - engine sound wavy when you put the boot down 3 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  Hi all I have 2000 model Xantia 2.0hdi 90bhp with AirCon, when I put the boot down to go up through the gears the engine gives a wavy sound to it as if she is not firing on all cylinders or not getting diesel.  pulled out the fuel pressure regulator at the weekend and blew it out with a air hose, all was clean there. plugged the computer in and one  injector was injecting too much fuel, got that one changed and still happening.
• Vauxhall Corsa - car dealers 27 Nov 2012 (Forum)
   I bought a 2007 Corsa from a used car dealer and regret ever going near them. Links View Garages of Wallasey, Wirral left me with two pints of fuel max so I almost ran out of fuel( they use jerrycans!) Who would have paid for that if the catalytic convertor had been ruined?? They  made mistakes on the MOT and the road tax. They only supplied one key although they said their cars all came with two.

• ford focus 1.8tdci sport 56 reg - electrical fault? 1 May 2012 (Forum)
  Today my husband went to drive it and it started no problem, drove no problem but when he looked at the dials on the dashboard the temperature dial was at the highest point and the fuel gauge was higher than if you had a full tank of fuel! can anyone give us any advice on what could be going wrong and what checks we can do on the car in order to try to find a solution before we end up with another huge bill?
• Ford Focus 2001 - Ford Focus Help 8 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  On longer journey e.g. 30 minutes and when cruusing at constant speed of 40 or 50 the car suddenly jolts as if loss of fuel. No engine lights comes on. The car then picks up again and generally is ok.  Feels dangerous, when loss of power/fuel?  Been to Ford dealer, independant guarage, but they cant find any fault codes that indicate what might be happening.
