• Ford Focus - Water in Fuel 5 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  My TDCi has just had to have the fuel tank drained and lines cleared due to water in the diesel.  Most of it will have been bought in Poole, Dorset.  Has anybody else had a similar problem recently? The Shell Garage, Darby's Corner Poole is currently being rebuilt with new tanks.

• Farewell chug a chug Diesels - you served us well. 13 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  The finger of time draws a curtain over period where small economical diesels saved their owners a fortune in fuel bills - and... they could be used as desired without problems. Usually weighing in at around 1,000kg - family cars with decent sized boots and fuel tanks and with full size spare wheels.
• Movano fuel problem 29 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  I have a Movano van that intermittently looses power and stalls (twice in 140 mile trip). It seems the fuel seems to stop. Garage have already charged £200 for replacing a fuel sensor but no improvement and now want it back to send it to a diesel expert?? Has anybody any knowledge of this problem or advice as to how to handle a garage who carry out work that has no positive results?
• Peugeot 405 Diesel (1988 - 1996) - Year unknown TD - Fuel starvation - won't idle 22 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  The probelm seems to be far worse when the engine is completely cold. When priming you can hear the fuel flowing into the filter chamber. The filter was changed three days ago, and has made no difference. It is running on veg oil/diesel, mixed, but this problem has only recently occurred, after several months of veg oil use.
• mondeo diesel 2.0DI (115bhp) 23 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  Has anyone else bought a new Ford Mondeo diesel 2.0DI (115bhp duratorq engine) and been disappointed with the fuel return when compared with the fuel returns quoted in various magazines and websites? I've done about 4,000 miles in mine from new and and getting a return of 35.5mpg all the time whether I am driving in towns or on motorways.
• C-MAX Diesel Auto 26 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  Does anyone know if the C-MAX 1.6TDCi 109PS with the CVT auto is any good? If not, can anyone think of any other diesel automatics that offer good fuel consumption within the same sort of price range? Interior space is also a priority.
• Was diesel cheaper than petrol 28 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  Is it my imagination, but did diesel used to be cheaper than petrol in summer and slightly more expensive in winter when people bought heating oil? I was looking forward to cheaper fuel in summer. Oh well. On my 3rd Citroen. Saxo, Xsara, C5.
• Mazda 2 1.6d Sport - Diesel Engine Maintenance 1 Dec 2021 (Forum)
  Having bought a diesel car this week which is 9 years old and has about 66k mileage i was wondering what people's thoughts are on looking after the engine, is it worth adding fuel cleaners occasionally when i fill up? Is Shell Diesel really better quality and better for the engine than supermarket diesel?
• SEAT - Morrisons new bio-diesel 12 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  I was at a SEAT dealer the other day and there was a new notice saying if you use the newest type of Morrisons bio-diesel you will invalidate the warranty on your fuel system, including various bits of the engine. The notice said this new diesel contains 30% (I think that was the proportion) of bio diesel (mixed in with the regular stuff) which was not compatable with the engine.
• Turbo diesel or not 27 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  I'm looking for a s/h diesel, I see a lot of turbo versions and I'm giving them a miss as I have the idea that they are not as economical. Given the equivalent engine size and car is this correct? As far as I'm concerned the whole idea of owning a diesel is for economy bearing in mind that diesel fuel is about ten pence more per litre, a turbo might not be any cheaper to run than a petrol vehicle.
• Premium diesel + cleaners 8 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  Just finished a test on my car after running the Redex Gold diesel injector treatment through it. With 40 litres of cheap 'n' nasty Esso diesel in followed by 20 litres of BP Ultimate, the fuel economy went from 44 to 51mpg. I was exceptionally sceptical so am continuing to test with cheap diesel to see if the benefits last.
• Dodgy diesel on TV tonight 1 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  Anyone see the report on dodgy diesel ? One shot showed a fuel pump selling diesel suspiciously cheaply,i.e. 72.9 p per litre. I`ve just filled up on the A414 with diesel 4 or 5 or 6 pence per litre cheaper than "normal". It was wearing Shell logos everywhere so I should be safe.Shouldn`t I ???????
