• Renault megane 1.5 dci - EGR valve / fuel filter 21 Mar 2017 (Forum)
  Or up hill. Have seen a lot about changing or cleaning the EGR and I'm also planning on changing the fuel air and oil filter. Do you think this will help at all? And also doing it myself would this be easy to change the EGR ? Thank you

• Audi A4 Avant B6 - Fuel Flap Not Locking & No Indicator Flash 28 Mar 2013 (Forum)
  Have just noticed that when locking my A4 Avant I no longer get the indicator flash to confirm, also for quite a while now the lock on the fuel filler hasn't worked. everything else seems to work as it should. Are the two connected? ie the ECU is recognising that the flap isn't locked therefore no confirmation flash? Anyone any idea on the fix and/or the cause, Is it as simple as just the actuator?
• Renault Espace Initiale 3.0 dci - Diesel fuel pump 12 May 2012 (Forum)

• Vw Passat 2.0TDI 140bhp - New fuel injectors on Passat improve mpg 11 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  I bought an 08 Passat with 90K on the clock 18 months ago and was disappointed with getting an average 40mpg doing 20K a year on mostly long motorway runs. It was recalled in January 2012 for new fuel injectors after which the consumption increased to almost 46mpg. As VW have known about this injector problem for some time do you think the is a case for compensation for reduced consumption to that advised by VW?
• 2009 09 Reg SKODA Octavia 1.9 TDI PD SE - Fuel Injectors 19 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  Hi I have recently been a victim of 4 x fuel injector failure in my 2006 VW Passat 2.0 TDi SE. I am considering changing to a 2009 09 Reg SKODA Octavia 1.9 TDI PD SE. Does anyone know which type of injector is used in the Octavia. I wouldn't buy it if the Siemens piezo injectors are used.

• Ford Fiesta Flight 1.3 R Reg second hand fuel pump 29 Sep 2010 (Forum)
  My car refused to start and the AA diagnosed a shorted turn fuel pump. Garage wants £552.25 for a new one. excluding labour. Outrageous for a 13yr old car. I can't afford to replace the car nor pay silly money for a pump. A washing machine pump is around £15 and there isn't that much difference.
• Fiat Punto - Car won't fuel up and revs a lot 12 Aug 2010 (Forum)
    When I took it to the petrol station it won't fill up, just puts a pound or two in then clicks off.  This is despite the fuel tank showing empty.  Now it has started revving madly when I drive it and attempting to run away, ie doing 30 mph in 2nd gear with no gas and jut pulling further ahead. What could be the problem?
• Nissan Sunny (1986 - 1991) - 88 1.4 Fuel and temp guages both not working 17 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  I bought this car as a very cheap little runaround after the demise of my Peugeot van but the fuel and temp guages dont register anything. It might be coincidence that they are both not working but I wonder if there is a known fault, maybe behind the dash. (The two guages are side by side). Other than that, for a 22 year old car that cost just £250 with tax and test it is pretty damn good!
• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 02 1.8 Temp & Fuel Gauges on when ignition off 6 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  Hi, I have a 2002 Focus Focus TDCI, which has developed an odd fault. When I switch the ignition off, the Fuel & Temperature gauges go to the halfway position (normally they park at zero) When the ignition is on, the gauges return to zero then work normally. There is a post (morrisoxford 24 dec 2007), but no fix given.
• Subaru Legacy and Outback Petrol (2004 - 2009) - 2.0 - Fuel economy around town 23 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  AT 70mph this delivers me an indicated 35mpg (borne out by brim-to-brim), and at an indicated 80 it delivers an indicated 31-32 (again borne out by brim-to-brim). But around town I can watch the fuel gauge falling as I drive. I doubt it's delivering 10mpg. Is this normal? In the sort of traffic that takes 30 minutes to cover 5 miles across the centre of town.
• Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 04 1.8TDCi cutting out and Low Fuel economy. 26 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  Two issues: 1- Cutting out at random times, usually within 5 mins of starting. Starts up again perfectly OK 2 - Very low fuel economy. Has dropped from 52/53 to 42/44mpg. Will Putting diesel clean through help. Do i need to think about something more serious.
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 02 2.0 tdci fuel filter change 14 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  hi all, ive never change a fuel filter on a diesel, do i need to fill the thing with diesel first? if so is it via the 'in' nozzle on the filter? Also where is the oil filter and washer pump on ths car, i want to change all filters but the washer has packed up, though the wipers still work so im guessing its not a broken fuse!
• Peugeot 406 (1999 - 2004) - 02 2.1 Fuel Flap Removal - 406 Estate 29 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  I need to remove the fuel flap on my 406 estate. I've trawled through the 'Paynes' manual but there seems to be nothing telling me how to remove it. There is a hook shaped piece on it that has broken off and this is preventing it being 'flipped open when pulling the release cable.
• Motorists to vote labour out 26 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  Firstly, lets all hope that fuel prices continue to rise :) Secondly, as much as I dislike the current government, I don't see how they can be blamed for the price of oil/fuel. Are two thirds of AA members idiots?
• Mercedes Benz E-Class W210 (1995 - 2002) - 2000 2.2/3.0 Mechanical Fuel Injection 19 May 2008 (Forum)
  I am considering buying a W124 or W210 E class Mercedes and would appreciate if someone could advise when M. Benz ceased production of diesel engines with Bosch mechanical fuel injection systems. Could someone also please advise when M. Benz switched to common rail diesel engines ?? Many thanks for your help.
