2014 Vauxhall Astra GTC J 2.0L Diesel - MPG suddenly dropped by 30-40% 3 Oct 2019 (Forum)
I was beginning to think of pulling over after 10 mins of this as something just was clearly not right ... and then out of nowhere, my MPG shot up to 65-70 and 2 bars on the turbo dropped off. Is this something to do with charging the alternator as the battery got so low when I was parked up or is this some sort of DPF cleaning?? Thing is it started when engine wasnt even up to temp. Gave me a bit of a scare as I have only owned the car 2 weeks and I have been used to the excellent MPG it usually provides! -

Chrysler PT Cruiser 2004 - key will not turn all way in ignition to start eng 18 Jun 2018 (Forum)
I did go back to the car with the spare, which opened the doors but dead as a doornail for starting the engine!! Also tried new battery in the key fob - didnt make any difference. Thought maybe flat battery to the engine. Did get home. Very kind man who knew a bit about cars, took pity to help me out.

BMW 3 Series Coupe - 2007 320d E92 - engine shaking/ loss of power 6 Mar 2017 (Forum)
I've got a e92 320d M Sport Auto with only 89k on the clock. I've only had the car for a couple of months now and a few weeks ago the battery decided to die only a few hours of being parked up, so it was jump started with another car and since then the car sounded like a tractor. I took it to a BMW specialist who adviced me not to drive it and bring it to him the next day to have it checked out. -
