    My 1.3cdti won't start from cold, and misfires when coming out of overrun. When starting, the tank fuel pump runs for a fraction of a second and stops. I have to keep turning the ignition off and on without cranking the engine until the tank fuel pump runs continuously and then it will start

  • Cruise control and fuel economy 20 Mar 2008 (Forum)

  • Does living on a hill save fuel? 9 Aug 2007 (Forum)
    I live about 3/4 of a mile up a lane with a drop of 35ft approx to the junction where it joins the "main" road. Not much granted, but the engine has an easy time for that 3/4 of a mile and the fuel computer reads in the 40s mpg in summer by the time I reach the junction. The engine's still not hot

    I had an earlier post about oil levels and smoke in this car... I have changed the oil and fuel filters and also replaced the oil. Now my car wont start. I think it is an airlock. I have filled the fuel filter with diesel prior to fitting. The engine ran for a short while then started to labour
  • VW tdi fuel filter 20 Jul 2004 (Forum)
    Evening All, My VW Bora tdi has lost power. It's perfectly driveable but has lost a lot of oomph. I'd like to change the fuel filter just to see what difference this would make. How do I do this? I've located the filter, but I imagine I would have to depressurise the fuel system before tackling

    I am taking delivery soon of a Skoda Octavia with the 130bhp tdi pd diesel engine fitted. I have used Millers Diesel Power Plus for many years in my 11 year old Passat. Skoda discourage use of fuel additives on the basis that engines are designed with modern fuels in mind. I would be grateful

    With the E10 fuel now being foisted onto us.  Its a given that mpg is worse even the RAC and Which acknowledge that.    So has anyone found any "snake oil" additive to reclaim the lost ponies?   And is it turbo and Cat safe?
