  The wife's Zafira 2001 1.6 16v goes fine on full throttle. It also idles really well. The problem is when just touching the accelerator pedal after slowing down etc. It is as though the fuel has stopped pumping for a split second. Then it catches up and all is well. Anybody seen anything like

• BMW 316ti Problem 20 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  I have a problem with my 2002 BMW 316ti Compact. When the car is started from cold, it is very 'spluttery' (as if the choke hadn't been out for long enough!) and noisy. Once it has warmed up, it still seems 'flat' and as if it is in need of fuel. I have taken it to my local dealer 5 times

  I have a 1991 driver with pneumatic central locking. Up 'til now, the locking mechanisms have been working sporadically. Recently however, the pump makes a noise in the boot and nothing happens. This wouldn't be much of a problem, had the fuel filler cap latch not locked! Consequently, I can't
