I noticed that My Clio appeared to have greater turbo lag than usual and seemed slightly down on power around 200rpm on a recent 3000 mile trip around France. I also noticed an increase in diesel knock. Could this be due to the proportion of bio diesel they now put in all French diesel? I usedwhat seened to be the premium fuels hoping to take advantage of the fact that this engine ( according to my main dealer ) has an anti knock sensor and should be able to benefit from an increase in cetane number. All symptoms have gone after a tankful of Shell V-Power. Any thoughts out there?

I should have mentioned that it has the 106 not the 86 engine

I tried a fill up of Shell V Power earlier this week. 7p a litre more expensive than the cooking stuff in the same garage at 107.9p. Not the slightest improvement in fuel mileage compared to the cheaper Total Excellium I normally use. My sister tells me diesel in France is about 1?- so about 85p? Worth being a little slower for?
