• Volkswagen Golf 2.0TDi - Petrol in diesel Golf 24 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  A colleague filled his Golf's TDi tank with petrol yesterday and drove off before the engine cut out. He got the tank drained and a new fuel filter installed but how much damage could he have done (he says it's driving okay) and when is this likely to manifest itself? Car is a 2007 2.0TDi with £80k on the clock.
• Renault Scenic 19 diesel 2003 June/july - Renault Scenic trip computer fault 21 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  Can anyone explain why replacing a faulty fuel pump should affect the trip computer such that the "Miles left in the tank" function now does not work, whereas all other functions do? I'd be graeful for any words of wisdom. Thank you

• all models - de Verde Hydrogen-on-Demand System 4 May 2013 (Forum)
  What comments do you have on the de Verde Hydrogen-on-Demand System and how it affects vehicle performance? Even if feeding Hydrogen into the engine inlet manifold improves fuel burning effieciency I find it difficult to believe that the rate of Hydrogen and volume produced by the system is enough to make a difference.
• MPG of Ford Fiesta 2009 1.4 TDCi 29 Mar 2013 (Forum)
  I'm considering purchasing a 1.4 TDCi Fiesta to replace my 1.6 petrol focus, I'm going through loads of miles and the fuel economy of my Focus just isn't cutting it any more. Ford states the mpg of the Fiesta is 67.  I was wondering what people are actually getting?  As I assume real life driving comes no where near this figure.....
• 2007 Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi Estate - Computer Calibration 27 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  I have calculated mpg for each full tank and the computer is consistently over the actual consumption figure so I wonder if the figures it shows for mileage on remaining fuel might be dubious too. Anyone got any ideas?
• Vauxhll Vivaro - Help!!!!!! 22 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  It keeps going in to limp mode. I've changed all air flow sensors, EGR valve, timing belt, alternator, fuel filter, air filter, turbo unit and battery. Now!!! If I leave it for a while, it will start and tick over, as soon as I press the accelerator pedal it cuts out. What is wrong with my van?
• Mercedes E Class saloon - which one to buy? 5 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  Needs to be automatic and I quite fancy the flippy paddles to gearshift.  I like my cars to be fairly quick  but not to AMG standard. Therefore fuel economy is not an issue here. Can anybody recommend a model and also what models should I avoid. Thanks
• Citroen Berlingo Peugeot Partner - Run on waste veg oil WVO? 1 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  Hi All, Am thinking of getting a 2003 Berlingo 1.9D. Will it run on waste veg oil and what mods will it need to do so? I understand that the Bosch VE fuel pump is up to the job, but is it fitted to all 03/04 cars with the 1.9D engine? Any advice greatly appreciated  Cheers   Mick
• VW Golf 1.9tdi Engine Life Span? 9 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  Am I correct in thinking that this mileage is nothing for a diesel golf? Or are there potential issues at this mileage? Also, anyone reckon I'll still get the same fuel economy at this mileage as I would at less miles?

• BMW 5 Series E39 - Brake pipe corrosion 13 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  My MOT station advised me to have the brake and fuel pipes on my 11 year old 5-series BMW cleaned of corrosion and protected.  My local garager suggests cleaning off to bare metal and applying grease, but I am concerned that the gease will wash off leaving the pipes unprotected.
• none - Poor information on posting. 5 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  Why when someone has a problem in Technical can't they just give more information of the problem to hand rather than "car cuts out" etc? Make, model , year, fuel type needs to be in the information better still before it can be posted up. We don't have a crystall ball to help you. And the original op fails to come back after posting for several days if at all.

• Bad petrol 8 Dec 2011 (Forum)
  I think I've had a duff batch of petrol.  Fuel economy is rubbish this last tankful, and the emissions stink!  I had a little panic that my catalytic converter was on the blink but I reckon that's supposed to smell like bad eggs. Blinking Texaco as well!!

• Citroen C5 anti-pollution fault 30 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  I have a Citroen C5 hdi 2001 model. occasionally the computer flags up "Anti-pollution Fault". When taken to the garage and connected to the magic machine it indicates a fault with the fuel pressure switch. However, once the computer is re-set the car runs normally until the next time. This last happened a year ago, and has recently happened again. Any clues??
