  • Audi a1 sport back 2011 - Cylinder 4 misfire 1.2 tfsi 10 May 2022 (Forum)
    spark plugs, cabling, coil pack, fuel filter, crank sensor, fuel rail sensor. Has anybody had the same issue? Everything has been checked and double checked....would it be best to change the injector on cylinder 4?
  • Ford Fiesta Mk6 1.4 petrol - Fiesta electrical start up routine delayed/issue 10 Apr 2021 (Forum)
    ), the display goes blank for about 15 seconds. Also, the temp and fuel gauges remain off. This also includes the radio not switching on. (The engine runs absolutely fine and continues to do so). After about 15 seconds, the LCD display switches on and displays correctly, the temp and fuel gauges go
  • Buying used car 20 Aug 2019 (Forum)
    (commute is max 15/20 mins away plus local driving to shops in town) and I drive more during weekends (max 2 hours distance). One last thing is fuel consumption, I don’t mind paying a little something extra for fuel but it should be at least reasonable mpg if possible. PS : no bmw please, I like
  • MK5 VW Golf 1.9 Diesel - Cranking but not starting 12 Jul 2019 (Forum)
    resolved! I’m no mechanic, so I’ve been trying to do things myself with a little help from the internet. This is what I’ve tried so far. I’ve had it plugged in to the computer and nothing comes up. I’ve changed the fuel pump relay. I’ve changed all 4 glow plugs. Had a new coolant temperature sensor

    drive it. it made no difference so the garage said it may be getting starved of fuel and to take it to renault (passing the buck) so i took it to my mates garage and he said there are no faults showing up on his diagnostic analyser, but a common fault is the egr and to test it invert
  • Kia Sedona diesel 2.9 TS - Sedona cutting out at high revs 21 Jul 2017 (Forum)
    . Local garage checked and the code is related to something in the fuel system, it says losing rail pressure but the mechanic checked and it isn't losing pressure, so it's going to cost an arm and a leg just to go through everything,  to rule things out and I will be without a car for 2-3 weeks
  • Hyundai Tucson CRTD 2007 - Garage should have advised crank sensor replacemen 4 Oct 2016 (Forum)
    Had the clutch and DMF replaced a month ago.  The car went in on the back of a recovery vehicle because after filling up with fuel and then a short journey, it would not start.  Apparently, at the garage,  the mechanic got it started after repeated attempts on the starter
  • Peugeot Partner Tepee - What tyres? 20 Nov 2015 (Forum)
    as they are at 3mm tread depth, so ok for now, but will need changing at some point. The current tyres (205/65 R15 94H) are Michelin Energy Savers, which i believe are rated C for fuel economy and B for wet grip. Having looked around online, i see the Dunlop Sport Bluresponse and Hankook
  • VW Golf III - VW 1993 AAM inlet manifold relay clicking+stalling 18 Jun 2015 (Forum)
    it has had good second hand inlet manifold preheater and fuel pump relays. To give you an extra clue after the engine has cut out the fuel tank vent valve behind the airbox clicks in time with the inlet manifold preheater relay. Any ideas would be most gratefully received
  • Ford Fiesta - Distance to empty gauge 15 Apr 2014 (Forum)
    We bought a 63 plate Fiesta at the end of last year. My wife drives it and she noticed that when the warning light/chime for low fuel came on at around 50 miles left, the miles she continued to drive did not match the mileage countdown figures on the dial. I thought it might
  • Vectra 2.0 DTI 16V Low Power 18 Mar 2014 (Forum)
    think the fuel pump is not delivering full fuel, is there any way to test these fly by wire pumps without selling my house and using a vauxhall dealer as it seems with these engines they have no idea what is wrong when the ecu light is not on.If anyone can shed some light on the problem please let me
  • Ford Focus Mk 2 Petrol - Could this be an electrical problem? 18 Aug 2013 (Forum)
    not working Yesterday I noticed a front bulb is also out.. unsure if it has been out since Wednesday. Fuel consumption seemed fine until a friend asked about it... now think it is going down quicker but maybe just mind playing tricks. Did a short 4.6 mile run across town with a short stretch
  • 2003 Renault Laguna 1.9dci - Starting problem 4 Jul 2013 (Forum)
    turbo and feed pipe but for some reason it just doesn't want to start. Yesterday I sprayed some easy start into the intake and it fired up straight away but died as soon as I stopped spraying which to me suggests it isn't getting fuel. I took off the return pipe from the injectors one by one
  • Peugeot 306 - Peugeot 306 - No Spark 4 Sep 2012 (Forum)
    Hi, I bought a 1999 Peugeot 306 1.4 as a non runner, with a suspected ECU fault.  A new ECU had been put on the car, the crank sensor changed but the car still wouldn't start.  The old ECU has been put back on the car.   It turns over, I believe it to be getting fuel

    the problem" despite me telling them to take it for a 10 minute drive. Fuel Pump= changed. Distrubtion cap=cleaned Spark plus=changed.   I can not afford to keep trying different things. I can't even afford to get it to a garage for a diagnositic. Someone

  • 2007 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2. - Misleading petrol gauge. 4 Mar 2012 (Forum)
     My car is supposed to have a fuel tank capacity of 45 litres.  The gauge shows" full"," half full", "quarter full"  and the red section.  I believe the gauge is calibrated incorrectly because it always takes quite a lot less to brim the tank than the gauge would suggest
  • Ford Focus - 52 Ford Focus Tdci intermittent starting 25 Feb 2012 (Forum)
    DMF however the starter motor thankfully fixed this. Also I've noticed when I switch the ignition off the fuel gauge rests ar halfway regardless of how much fuel is in there instead of returning to the stop. Could the battery now be a little suspect? Anyone else experienced anything
  • BMW 118d vs 120d - Which one to go for? 15 Feb 2012 (Forum)
    is a 120d M-Sport Auto, again with lots of extras, mainly the same as the above plus Bluetooth prep, and a few other things too (like memory seats), the Bluetooth prep is important to me, but so is fuel economy and it doesn;t have the start/stop All the reviews says the 118d is the one to go
