  • Ford Focus Estate 1.6 TDCI - Will regen of DPF stop fumes in cabin? 24 Nov 2017 (Forum)
    Well the title says it all, really. I've been having a problem with fumes getting inside my Focus. My mechanic inspected the exhaust, fuel injector seals and much else. He came to the conclusion that the issue was caused by two things: the fact that the EGR valve was stuck open and the need

    came out and towed me home stating it was probably the fuel pump or injectors. The next morning I managed to drive the car to my brothers house and once again the engine died.

  • Citroen C Crosser 2.2HDi - Diesel additives? which one and how often 3 May 2015 (Forum)
    the codes which seemed to indicate a fuel leak, but then went on to check the car very very thoroughly.  Concluded it was probably a bit of contamination in the fuel or even air.  Since Mrs G had fllled up at tesco earlier that day, it seems plausible. Now planning to fill up with Shell

    Our clio has been diagnosed with an injector fault.I have been warned that this could indicate the beginnings of total system failure. I have changed the fuel filter and inspected the old one. sure enough, there is a trace of "silver paint" in the bowl of the filter, having split it open. Would

  • Citroen C5 2001 - Citroen C5 2.2 Hdi fuel consumption 21 Jan 2013 (Forum)
    I am looking for a definitive answer for the poor fuel consumption of the 2.2 engine, I know I am not alone with this problem but most references are to the poor consumption rather than a cure for it. I have 2.0. Hdi engines in another C5 and a 406 both of which with my very gentle style

  • Peugeot 306 2.0HDi Meridian 2000/W - Engine Management Light 25 Oct 2011 (Forum)
    - a bit dirty but cleaned it - nothing unusual for what I normally find when I regularly clean it out. Vented diesel from filter - (there was a bit of water in the vented fuel but I'm sure this was in the fabric conditioner bottle that had just been washed out.......) Over the last few

    Can anyone please help? So frustrated! Had a Zaffy now for ten months.Three months ago it lost power, and went into limp home mode. So, I took it to Vauxhall for diagnosis. Found out that it was on recall for replacement of FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. Had this replaced (luckily enough didn't have
  • Mazda 6 - LPG Conversion massive increase in fuel use 12 Jan 2011 (Forum)
    . But there's no point converting to half price fuel if you then use it at twice the rate. If anyone has any advice as to what he might have done or where we ought to be looking I'd be grateful. Sounds as if he's cocked up the engine management system, but how? I am not knowledgable about engines
  • Renault Clio II (2001 - 2007) - 03 1.5 no power on start for 30 secs & fuel econom 8 Feb 2010 (Forum)
    replaced by the garage so I don't know if that is an issue. Also the fuel economy has gone to pot, it was doing 60 ish to the gallon and now it's only doing 45 ish to the gallon. Any ideas would be great. Don't want to take it to renault as it will no doubt cost a fortune and I've already spent
  • Volkswagen Golf III (1992 - 1997) - 95 1.8 - Cuts out. Could it be the fuel relay? 4 Jan 2009 (Forum)
    I bought this VW Cabriolet last summer, it hadn't been used for a year or so before I bought it and so on the odd ocassion that it stalled or didn't start or cut out I just put it down to that and maybe the fuel being blocked somewhere. I used engine cleaner every other time I filled up
  • FIAT Grande Punto (2006 - 2009) - 2007 1.9 Poor Fuel Economy After Crash 28 Nov 2008 (Forum)
    etc. Any how I have now noticed that my average fuel consumption has gone from being about 42mpg down to 35mpg after the crash. The only thing I can think is that when the accident happened all the coolant from the engine leaked out of the pipe that connects to the intercooler. I have noticed
  • Mazda 626 (1987 - 1991) - Why is my fuel consumption so good? 6 Jun 2008 (Forum)
    else out there whose fuel consumption has exceeded expectations...all I have read about to date are BRs whose consumption has been disappointing.

    My Mazda 6 diesel 52 reg started losing power after about half an hours driving and once the engine rose to it's optimum temperature. It would then cut out completely and would not start again until the engine had cooled. I replace the oil, fuel and air filters but did not make any difference. I
