  fuel surge, but I'm not up to speed on how injection systems behave, I'm afraid. The slow running is lumpy and I've wound in the butterfly stop screw, with only partial success. If it had a carburettor, I would suspect the low speed jets, but I don't know what the equivalent would be! It could almost

  diesel to fill up. Almost immediately the car is running smoother, not quite as well as 3 months ago, but is this because I still had 1/3 of a tank of previous fuel. Will continue to run out the old fuel and top up with the BP and see what transpires. My engine is the 525d, 19inch alloys, low

  Dear All, recently I put too much oil in the engine of my Renault Master 1996, 2.5 diesel minibus (110,000 miles). At the MOT check when at high revs the van started chucking out black smoke, when the tester turned off the ignition, the engine still ran. Looks like oil got sucked up into the fuel

  -incidence but I had filled up at a supermarket about 20 mins before the AD light came on. I have read that supermarket fuels are not as good - is this true or fuel snobbery?

  at appropriate times. All still available in the northwest of Scotland and long may it continue, just don?t tell everybody!! The A3 did 51 mpg over the whole trip too (average speed 42mph according to GPS), another advantage of uncongested roads. Unlike trips up there a few years ago fuel is the same price

  refilled the tank and driven about 40 miles before failure. Diagnostic testing by a Bosch agent gave an error code which showed low fuel pressure and his educated guess was that the auxiliary fuel pump had an intermittent fault, but 2 instances in 11 months is not a lot to go on. Again the car seems
