• Ford Focus 1.6 Petrol zetec 03 - P0172 - Fuel System Too Rich 7 Nov 2011 (Forum)
  My car is throwing a P0172 error code - Fuel System Too Rich, nothing else. I have taken it to a independent garage and dealership, but none seem to be able to fix and speculatively say we can do this for £x. No one can offer a diagnosis and so it falls to me with not much money

  I have a 53-reg Mondeo Ghia X TDCI 130 (E3) with 113,000 miles. Since I got it at 96k in March, it has been quite smoky when accelerating through the mid-range and it has not been particularly economical either. Is it time to get the engine calibration re-mapped? Does the fuel injection mapping

  My 206 HDi is confusing me to no end. It will start perfectly when cold and I can run around in it like a normal car. However I park up and cannot restart the car, once the engine is hot. I got a fuel pressure regulator fault so I have changed the fuel filter and housing and the High pressure

  out of fuel - although I have half a tank. It doesn't last long, although it's done it on a couple of occasions on the same hill, under the same conditions. I've also noticed that when idling and if I blip the throttle, I hear what I can only describe as a'squelching' sound which appears
• Fuel shortage 25 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  The fuel shortage in Scotland and the North reminds me of the protest strike about 7 years ago . I was returning from a lenghty journey looking for some fuel on my way home, and saw a queue at a filling station that obviously had some. I queued for 20 minutes and when I got close to the pump I

• Mondeo ST24 V's ST220 fuel economy. 15 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  Hi all, I'm thinking of buying an ST220 Mondeo. I've just discovered the ST220 is a 3.0L V6, not the 2.5L I used to own in an ST24. The one thing I'm concern about is the fuel economy. This you might find odd if I'm considering buying a car like this. The fact is that the ST24 I owned

  1.25 Zetec 1997, 94,000 miler. Sudden chugging down motorway and loss of speed, replaced fuel filter for the first time and used injector cleaner. Stopped all the chugging- 90% better. Problem is when blipping accelerator quickly from idling, revs seem to do the opposite and die down for longer

• Benefit of super unleaded in direct injection? 2 Jan 2018 (Forum)
  The marketing departments would tell us that the extra additives in super unleaded can help to clean valve stems but would it be fair to say it's not much use for engines that use direct injection into the cylinder? What benefit is left then to using a higher octane fuel
