  It does not happen when the car is driven from cold and also will not happen while the vehicle is stationary (revving it) I realise thatv there was an issue with "delaminating fuel tanks" but I thought this only happend with the earlier models (this is a 2006). Can somebody explain how this can affect the injectors? Could this be a problm with the actual injectors or a fuel pressure problem?
