• 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?

• 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.
