    or similar premium fuel and return the car to the main agent who will add a fuel system service additive to the tank, change the engine oil and download the ECU and hope that cures the problem. Has anyone any idea what the hell is going on??? I'm wondering if Peugeot just want to keep

    gear . You can feel the car holding back a bit between 2000 and 2500 revs , and it sort of "pulses". Feels like it may be a fuel issue , or maybe air flow? It is the 90bhp engine, so no DPF to consider. It has been back
  • Vw Polo / Audi A1 - Polo/A1 cylinder on demand 1.4 3 Nov 2013 (Forum)
    Hi. After having a few Diesels and looking at a new 120d I have decided, for me diesels are too much trouble than they are worth and as a private buyer I'm not willing to take the risk again. I do around 25000 miles per year and repairs on my last two diesels have negated any fuel savings made
  • Peugeot 206 (56) - Overheating and Losing water 5 Oct 2013 (Forum)
    was replaced, engine skimmed, cam belt and fuel pump replaced. After 2 weeks it started leaking again. The garage took it back and said things just needed tightening. Over the next couple of months it still leaked and eventually the garage took it back and did the head gasket again. After

  • Electronic Ignition Fault - 406 90HDi 24 Feb 2013 (Forum)
    premises, said they had seen several Peugeots with the same fault recently, and it was the fuel pump above the tank every time. They even logged the reported fault as "fuel pump". The auto-electricians found a fault code indicating an imobiliser fault, and suggested possibly a bad connection, faulty key
  • Vaxhaull Vivaro - Vivaro Power Loss 25 Jan 2013 (Forum)
    that sorted out no problem. I then had it serviced by a local garage. He changed the oil (though the filter doesn't look new) Also fuel filter, air filter. Picked it up drove it home on side roads no problem, felt great!!! Jumped on the motorway next morning, got to about 3000rpm
  • Ford Fiesta (1995 - 1999) - 98 1.4 Multiple misfire under load 23 Jan 2013 (Forum)
    each change there was an improvement but the problem wasn't solved and the improvement didn't last long. Could it be a blocked/damaged Cat from the neat fuel as the misfire has been happening a while now, or an exhaust manifold leak or a faulty lambada or engine temp sensor? Or maybe a fuel problem

    new" company car..  It needs to be a 2litre diesel with automatic gearbox,  a good reliable runner and reasonably fuel efficient. After visiting several dealers,  I'm coming down on either a Skoda Octavia with DSG or a Seat Exeo with their CVT transmission which fall neatly

    , technically advanced powertrain is not only great fun to drive, but it delivers fuel economy improvements and ultra-low CO2 emissions which lead to real world cost savings for our customers.” It will be interesting to see if the claimed fuel consumption translates in the real world!
  • Any - Next car - undecided between petrol or diesel 23 Jan 2012 (Forum)
    a month, and a trip to Bradford and back (total 250 miles) also once a month. I realise the potential downfalls of diesels and have to take those into consideration. Based on current fuel prices I would save around 2k a year on fuel with diesel.  I am looking at DPF free models as don't really

    at present but I won't have a large amount to spend. Most important to me is fuel economy (I want a petrol and not diesel), safety and reliability.
