• Warning light on MR2 23 May 2002 (Forum)
  My Toyota MR2 (grey import) has a warning light on the dash which has started to come on quite frequently. It originally started lighting after about 15 miles, now after as little as 2 miles. The light looks a bit like an in-line fuel filter (sort of a square box with a straight pipe on either

  that night to test it - no probs.  Same the following day when we went to get parts. We changed the fuel filter, the old filter was all clean, nothing in the diesel whatsoever, injectors all under lots of pressure.  We also changed the crankshaft sensor which was covered in iron filings (DMF

  of torque which made it surprisingly diesel like to drive in the best sense. Never a keen revver though with a funny flat spot about 4.5k revs. Fuel consumption was good at around 37 mpg with my mainly long haul, fully laden usage and as mentioned elsewhere, when the fuel price differential was 10p a litre

• 2001 Mk2 1.2 16v Petrol - 2001 Mk2 1.2 16v Petrol - turns over, won’t start. 13 Jul 2024 (Forum)
  This car sat for about 5 years without being started. I fitted a fresh battery, it started in about 8 seconds. I drove it about 1/2 a mile and put it back in the garage. I noted that fuel gauge showed very empty. Zero needle movement. A few days later someone
• Renault Clio E-tech hybrid - Impressions after the first 1000 miles 21 Apr 2024 (Forum)
  seamlessly when needed, nice smooth auto box that 'creeps' at low speed just like a torque convertor transmission. There's plenty of power for overtaking tractors and horse boxes, with good fuel economy too. I am getting around 55mpg driving in a semi rural area doing mainly short journeys. Renault say

  is 50, 40 is 65, 50 is 80, 60 is 100, 70 is 110. NSL on single carriageway is 100 km/h - an easy to remember number.  As a bonus, the fuel economy is shown in km/L - a more rationale unit compared to MPG (we don't buy fuel in gallons).  Of course this is a personal thing and many

• Ford C-MAX (2003 - 2010) - Petrol-y smell in the car 18 Dec 2019 (Forum)
  . Someone told me to change the pollen filter, but does it still not blow through the pollen filter when in re-circ mode? Is the fuel pump accessible from under the rear seats and if so, if the lid of the fuel pump was not screwed down tight, I suppose it would cause a smell, but why would the smell

  to the latest software and reset the adaptations, but nothing has helped. There are no error codes in the PCM and most sensor readings seem reasonable, although i have very negative long term fuel trims at idle (around -20 to -25%), this improves after a while at higher revs. Oddly the stort term fuel

  and registered in October 2015, so I assume the Kia has 3+ years warranty left and the Toyota 1+ year. The Kia is thirster and has higher car tax, so over 5 years I estimate the total cost (purchase+fuel+tax) will be roughly similar excluding servicing & repairs

  won't fire. It's been with the dealer for three weeks now.  They initially replaced the PCM (main computer) to no avail, and since then they have struggled to identify the cause. Their latest theory is that it may be the fuel pump, and they are trying to suggest it was caused
• VW Golf Match Edition 1.4 TSI 5dr - Tyre pressures on my new MK7 car. 21 Jul 2016 (Forum)
  seems high to me and does make for a somewhat hard ride. There is also a tyre pressure listed with an exclamation mark against it and in the user's manual, this refers to a 'Comfort Tyre Pressure' of 30psi for some models which can be used to some detriment in the fuel consumption. To my mind I think
• Vauxhall vectra sri 2,2 04 - warning light on dash 19 Mar 2016 (Forum)
  no difference. I have had the fuel pump changed and a new coil pack fitted. No difference. It's supposedly had a full service, however, I was told that the fuel filter wasn't changed by another mechanic so I suppose it's quite possible that other things weren't done either. I do a lot of short journeys and have
