  Do you think diesel additive is worth buying and using? Or would it be better to buy the premium fuel on the forecourts?
• Ford Mondeo 2003 - Mondeo 2003 2.0 TDCI power probs between 50-60mph 7 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  When I am accelerating my car seem to jerk as if there is air in the fuel line , it mainly occurs when I reach between 50 and 60 mph , it seems to calm down after that . I have just changed Air and Fuel filter and also just cleaned the MAF sensor but no change. My car has about 125K on teh clock, could this be a turbo problem ??

• Which is economical? AirCon or window open on mway 18 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  We know that the air conditioning unit in the car affects the fuel economy when in use. Have seen cars on the motorway with windows open travelling at 50+mph. I thought it would be more economical to use an air con frugally compared to having a window open which causes a drag which affects the aerodynamic of the car hence using more fuel.

• Volkswagen Golf IV (1998 - 2004) - 2001 2.0 Emissions light on 8 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  Hi, My emission's light keeps coming on regardless of replacing the lambda sensor. It's reading on the computer as saying fuel/oxygen too rich or words to that effect. After checking under the bonnet I can see that whoever had it before me put in a non-standard fuel pressure regulator so I'm guessing that this is running too high?

• Audi A4 (1995 - 2000) - 1996 1.8 Temperature sender 21 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  Whilst poking around the water temperature sender I noticed a second plug hanging loose. I couldn't see where this might have come out from, but Haynes manual mentions fuel injection temperature sensor. If this has indeed fallen out would the car run OK? It seems to be fine, but fuel consumption is a bit more than I might expect ( low to mid 30's per gallon) Engine is ADR
