VW Golf Match Edition 1.4 TSI 5dr - Tyre pressures on my new MK7 car. 21 Jul 2016 (Forum)
There is also a tyre pressure listed with an exclamation mark against it and in the user's manual, this refers to a 'Comfort Tyre Pressure' of 30psi for some models which can be used to some detriment in the fuel consumption. To my mind I think that this would make for a more forgiving ride on our appalling roads but wonder whether something between 30 and 35psi could be a compromise - say 32/33psi? Initially the salesperson, on handover, didn't really comment on this but I was wondering if the higher pressures is something to do with trying to contribute towards the good fuel consumption achieved by these cars in addition to Start/Stop etc. -

Vauxhall vectra sri 2,2 04 - warning light on dash 19 Mar 2016 (Forum)
I have had the car put on diagnostics and it comes up with throttle body, however the mechanic cleaned this up and it has made no difference. I have had the fuel pump changed and a new coil pack fitted. No difference. It's supposedly had a full service, however, I was told that the fuel filter wasn't changed by another mechanic so I suppose it's quite possible that other things weren't done either. -

Tried changing the TDC sensor no change. Tested power to 3 wire plug to coil and nothing on any terminal. Fuel pumps to inlet rail.

Focus TDDI Endura problem 29 Apr 2015 (Forum)
There is a knocking/tapping noise seemingly coming from the top left hand side of the engine accompanied by a fair bit of grey smoke,thinking this was a broken valve spring or a sticky valve i took the head off for inspection and cleaned everything and reseated valves while i was there,put it back together and the noise/smoke was still there,i changed an injector but still no joy,i noticed that the top of pistons 1-3+4 seemed to be normal(dry and usual discolouration) but the top of 3 seemed to be wet as if the fuel had not burnt properly,there is engine management on the car but it does not show there is a problem and the car starts a treat and the turbo seems to be ok,do these symptoms signal a fault in the fuel system and would this cause the knocking i describe?? -

At Peugeot Tech's behest we have got to fill up from empty with Shell V Max or similar premium fuel and return the car to the main agent who will add a fuel system service additive to the tank, change the engine oil and download the ECU and hope that cures the problem. Has anyone any idea what the hell is going on??? -

I have recently bought an 07 plate Focus C-max 1.6 - Hesitation when ubder load. 3 May 2014 (Forum)
You can feel the car holding back a bit between 2000 and 2500 revs , and it sort of "pulses". Feels like it may be a fuel issue , or maybe air flow? It is the 90bhp engine, so no DPF to consider. It has been back to the
