• Mazda Mazda 6 (2002 - 2007) - 02 diesel no power or acceleration 12 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  They said it could be dirt in the fuel system and said they cleaned out the tank and fuel system. After that hadn't made any difference they then said it could be the micro filters in the injectors and they would need replaced costing at least £1000 on top of the £700 pounds they charged for the injector pump to be reconditioned.
• Shell V-Power diesel: how does it sound to you? 3 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  of 47.4 mpg, where 42 is more typical. I've still got a couple of long trips to do this week, so I'll use the regular fuel as a control, to see if it's the fuel or the journey. But it's the sound I'm interested in. Anyone else noticed any audible effects of 'premium' fuels?

• 05 Passat TDI (AVB) - Strange noise after starting & leaking fuel after petrol purge 25 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  However, his methods of doing this have left me somewhat baffled. I know that he disconnected both the supply and return fuel lines leaving the diesel filter going to the tandem pump and whether he attempted to draw fuel through the filter or back from the tandem pump I don't know. However he did say he was finding it difficult to suck the fuel through.

• Diesel vs Petrol school runs in Midi MPV? 12 May 2008 (Forum)
  The concern I have is that 95%+ of her journeys are going to be short ones, less than 5 miles from a cold start, plenty of it stop / start traffic. What would the real world fuel economy of a Diesel engine vs Petrol from a cold start over a short distance be (I presume the Petrol would warm up quicker)? I've also heard a number of horror stories of particulate filters clogging and severe fuel dilution of oil after only 3k when a car has been subjected to such short journey abuse.
