• Peugeot 206 - Loss of power and EML with new air filter 9 Jul 2018 (Forum)
  or it's not getting any fuel if you try and accelerate quickly. It'll still do 70 but only if you don't push it, if I come to a hill it's hopeless as it just keeps revving then cutting back then revving some more (the clutch isn't slipping). It's as if it's getting fuel and then suddenly not getting any
• Honda Civic 1.6 - Fuel consumption - bad or just normal? 14 Jan 2015 (Forum)
  I swapped from a 2000W 1.0 Yaris over to a 2004/04 1.6 Civic back in March. Since then I've been quite disappointed with the fuel consumption, getting around 35-36 on average for my normal travelling and no better than 38 even on a long run. Is this normal for the car? I've tried looking

  as it only had the spoonful of diesel to burn, which would strenghten my case that the diesel is running back? Today i have renewed the primer pump on the fuel filter, as i read that these can sometimes leak air, but i still have the problem?......any suggestions? I have also changed the fuel line
• Toyota Avensis (2003 - 2008) - Post-service - poor starting and fuel economy 6 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  other thing, they added fuel cleaner to the tank. Are these different for petrol and diesel? Is it possible that something unwelcome has been added to the tank?
• SAAB 9-3 (1998 - 2002) - 02 2.2Tid diesel starting problems 24 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  ). Thinking the fuel was low I rolled it doen the hill where, after a bit of churning it started. In the following months the same fault manifested a few times and , each time , I nosed the car level or downhill and it started. Gradually the hill that would cause a problem decreased in steepness until 10 days
• Vectra 2.0 Di New injector pump.... 15 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  ). Once stopped it had to be left several minutes before it would restart. AA were called, he thought it was a blockage in the fuel line and towed me home. His reasoning was when unscrewing the bleed on the fuel filter he could hear air rushing into the vacuum formed by the engine trying to draw fuel
• Alfa nostalgia 21 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  and it was an all day job - just like some modern cam belt and clutch changes you hear about. The most horrible moment I remember was when my uncle and I had just put the cylinder head back on (I honestly can't remember why it had to come off). The fuel line and carbs neede priming and my uncle thought

• Ethanol and E10 petrol 18 Sep 2021 (Forum)
  I dont know how much it cost to produce Ethanol, but if it is cheaper than petroleum then surely the price of fuel should come down! Also as Ethanol is made from corn, farmers in some parts of the world will be cutting down rain forests so that they can plant more corrn to satisfy the demand

  The white lights on the fuel and temperature guage are flickering.The red pointer lights are grand.Is this a fuse problem or something more serious.What fuse would be involved? The fuse section in the owners manual does not mention instrument panel fuses or is it a different description
• New E10 Petrol. Reality Or Nonsense? 15 Sep 2018 (Forum)
  Surely the Government need to get real. Encouraging people to switch to petrol cars and then  introduce fuel that can potentially ruin engines. I doubt it will happen. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/cars/article-6109487/Almost-one-million-UK-cars-arent-compatible-new-E10-petrol-set

• Hummer 12 Feb 2018 (Forum)
  Saw one today at Sheffield train station. Surely THE most inappropriate car in Britain? Anyone know its fuel consumption, GPM? Looks rather mean though, don't think I'd like it to be behind me on motorways as it's massive and also its headlights appeared to be far too high. Althougher amazed

• Any - Trains 31 Mar 2016 (Forum)
  Looking at going to Leeds in July so I thought I'd look at advance train fairs. For three adult one 14 yearold and two under 5's it came to nearly  £400. It wouldn't even cost 1/4 of that in fuel. How can they justify the price of train travel and expect you to not use the car

• Toyota Corolla 1997- 2001 - ECU and learning 22 Jul 2013 (Forum)
  The ECU I have got? In the 2001 1.4 vvti E11 model. Because it may eliminate my rattling sound, which sounds like pinking, but suspect I am not getting enough fuel through at the time and the ECU might need to re-learn something? But is it sufisticated enough to do this?      
• Ford Focus - Maintaining a DPF ? 13 Sep 2012 (Forum)
  My 2009 Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI has 92,000 miles. I have just had the DPF replaced by Ford. I'm wondering are any products suitable for adding to the fuel tank to increase the life span of the new DPF ? I've seen the cleaner additives but I'm unsure if they're any good ? Cheers

• What does diesel do to tarmac? 10 Nov 2011 (Forum)
  A3(M) was closed yesterday afternoon/evening due to a broken down lorry and fuel spillage and at midnight the workman were out resurfacing the road. So, what does diesel do to a road surface requiring it to be relaid? Does it dissolve it? Is it absorbed into the surface with the risk
