• Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI 2008 MK 2.5 - High Pressure Fuel Pipe removal 12 Dec 2018 (Forum)
  Hi all, I'm trying to remove the cylinder head cover/manifold but I cannot find how to loosen off or remove the high pressure fuel pipes from the back of the cylinder head. Loosened off and disconnected from the injectors but I'm a bit lost as to what has the best way to move them out of the way to lift the manifold.  Just seems to be no easy or straightforward way!

  What is the best fuel system cleaner (additive). I have used redex and wynns before, but did not record if there was a change in efficiency. I drive a 95m ford escort 1.6 zetec. Also what is the best petrol. I normally fill up with asda or sainsbury petrol.
• Michelin Fuel Gift Card Offer 16 Mar 2016 (Forum)
  Looking to get some new tyres for the C1 in the near future. OEM is Michelin and I'm inclined to stick with them. Michelin currently have a fuel gift card offer on and I'm just wondering what this card is. The value depends on the size and number of tyres purchased; £25 for the four tiny tyres on the C1 which brings the price down to £40 a corner.

• Nissan Sunny 1989 N13 - Temp & fuel gauge temperamental 27 Mar 2015 (Forum)
  Hello, Got a part time fuel & temp guage on an N13, it will work for the first 10-15 minutes of operation and then just die, until its left to stand then will work again for another brief period. I've had the clocks out and the connections all look okay, but with a car of this era those are probably the two most important guages :)   Really don't want to have to replace the clocks entirely, has anybody any experience of this?
• Nissan X-Trail - Fuel leak 2 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  I have a 2006 2.2 Dci X-trail.  Filed the tank this morning and noticed constant fuel drip from under the back of the car when I got home.   Took to local mechanic who says the lift pump from the tank has failed and needs to be repleced.  Nissan apparently quoting £350 for the part and no aftermarket alternative - seems very expensive for what it is.
• Ford Focus 1.6 tdci zetec 2005 - Fuel consumption 15 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  My instrument display which tells me outside temp,trip and how many km's until an empty tank which I can toggle on the steering stalk............does anyone know how accurate the fuel consumption and km's until empty is? Currently my reading is that the car is doing 5.6 litres per 100km. I get down to about an eighth of a tank and im still 200km's until empty which seems high.

    on way home the car stalled once and now we cant get it to start at all. we have checked the fuel line, theres plenty of fuel in the tank, but there is no power getting to the spark plugs or the fuel pump. she is turning over fine so its not the starter motor, she just wont kick in.  she was running perfectly fine before the plugs was changed.
• Suzuki Alto 1.0GL - Fuel filter-does it have one? 13 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  2006 Suzuki Alto I've just carried out a full service, and the only thing i cant find is the fuel filter. Does the car even have one? I've looked in the usual places and cant find any sign of one. I wondered if it had an in-tank non replaceable one. Would really appreciate any advice on this one.

    the only way to stop it happening is to jab the acc pedal quickly.  I've sprayed throttle body on it and pivot on pedal, any other ideas.  Also the fuel injection light comes comes on every now and again any ideas about this as well.  Thanks

  Every so often the water in fuel light comes on. This has been happening for the last 4 years and when it started I took out the tank and drained it twice. It still happens occasionally but there is no loss of power or anything else to indicate a problem.

• Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 2006 1.6 TDCi fuel line - under bonnet 30 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  Can someone please help me identify the 'ingoing' fuel line to the engine under the bonnet of a ford focus 1.6 TDCi? The 'in' and 'out' line are near identical and close together and I can't see any labelling to help me. So if you know which one is the 'in' line to the engine - perhaps you have picture or diagram I can look at - I'd really appreciate it.
• Ford Mondeo II (1996 - 2000) - 1997 1.8 D fuel & temperature gauge stuck halfway 20 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  Engine prob still not sorted, but will keep all informed, however, have noticed that temperature guage remains half way between hot and cold whether engine on or not and fuel guge is the same - are they related, any ideas on how to solve this ?? Subject header given a more meaningful title. Also when the box asks for "Year of manufacture", it means just that, the YEAR, not the first letter prefix of the numberplate
• Fat people use more fuel 5 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  "Fat people blamed for global warming" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/1973230/Fat-people-blamed-for-global-warming.html "British scientists say they use up more fuel to transport them around and the amount of food they eat requires more energy to produce ... " So that is what Gordon and Darling are trying to do. Reduce use of big cars, make us walk more, so we get thinner, and can now happily fit in to smaller cars!
