• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 99 1.8 TDI fuel pump reconditioning 1 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  Hi, I have a 1.8 1999 Focus TDi with a self diagnosed fuel pump problem. The car cut out and will no longer start. It turns over fine but is getting no fuel. I've done the obvious things and it would appear to be the fuel pump. As this is a major unit and usually mapped to the cars ecu
• Has Fuel Changed? 7 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  of weeks its MPG is struggling around 39 MPG. My wife's Mondeo 2.0 Zetec has done exactly the same, it has dropped from 37 MPG to 34 MPG. Very odd as nothing else has changed apart from the price of fuel. No change to our journey patterns, no change to type of petrol or diesel used, or where we buy
• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 1994 1.9D Leaking Fuel From Throttle Shaft 10 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  Hi all, I have recently found a fuel leak from the throttle shaft of my Lucas (yeah I know they're bad) diesel fuel injector pump. The throttle shaft moves up and down slightly if you pull and push it. I am guessing what ever was originally sealing it is not any more, and the idle speed
• Mondeo TDCi Fuel Filter 23 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  at 70 mph! Fuel consumption is slightly better at 47 mpg rather than 43 mpg. Wide throttle openings and lower revs do not give quite the same surge of torque as they did before. Looking at the forum ther has been an issue with fuel filters, this has been changed by the dealer for the first time
• Freelander fuel comsumption 22 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  I have an 05 Freelander TD4 auto and am constantly disappointed with the fuel consumption. I filled up today having done 273 miles since the last fill. I did a 50 to 60 mile journey on A roads around 50 to 60mph. Roughly the same distance would be covered doing little journeys towing a light
• Tipo turbo diesel not starting>>> 20 May 2002 (Forum)
  My 91 tipo turbo diesel wouldn't start today after running for about 3 hrs I came home for a while and when I went to leave it just spluttered for a while with no power then died. Have checked for fuel which is present engine side but there seems to be no suction from the fuel pump. I disconnectd
• Fuel Guage Accuracy 26 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  A different slant on the thread below I am surprised that with modern tecnology we cannot have accurate fuel guages. I have driven a number of cars with computers that purport to show the range left but I have no confidence in them. On a Primera it would sometimes drop from an indicated 50 miles
• Supermarket fuel 15 Jun 2001 (Forum)
  Is supermarket fuel truly any worse than the named brands? Given that it sells at the same price (remember the days when it was a bargain?) can we not believe that it is just the same? I ran my car solely on Tesco's for 1K miles, then 1K miles on Texaco only, and discerned no difference
• Fuel Additives 19 Apr 2001 (Forum)
  I've seen a few messages on the site about problems caused by Supermarket Fuel etc and wondered if anyone has any experience of Fuel Additives ? I've recently picked up a leaflet from Halfords for products from STP/Redex/Wynns/Slick that claim to clean Fuel systems and injectors. Waste of money
• 2.2 dci x-trail - deisel x-trail fuel pump problem sorted. 20 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  the fuel pump and it would sort out the problem. i took out the fuel pump and i looked at it closely to see how it worked and what could go wrong. on the side of the fuel pump there is a silver switch in a barrel shape held on by two small bolts and this switch is a fuel pressure switch. i found a deisel
• Fuel consumption figures 16 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  The \'official\' fuel consumption (and CO2) figures for vehicles are about as useful as a luminous sundial. Real-world mpg is much lower than implied, and because the relationship between \'official\' and real-world varies from marque to marque/model to model, the published figures can\'t even
• CAFÉ ? fuel economy 6 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  These dumb Americans !! For those who don?t know (I?ve just found out) CAFÉ is an acronym for corporate average fuel economy. The American Congress has tried to pass a bill requiring an increase from 27 MPG to 33 MPG it was not passed. This would have required the American automobiles
• Volvo D5 Fuel problem 30 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  Hi, I've had problems with a Volvo D5, story is in Discussion. I've now heard from the dealer who is unsure as to what the situation is. Basically I had problems starting, to the extent the car wouldn't start. They swapped the Fuel pump and gave the car back. It failed again after 1200 miles
• Faulty fuel computer in my Renault 19 18 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  I have a 1989 Renault 19 with a 1.7 litre, carb engine, which is in very good condition overall, fully loaded with nearly 83k on the clock. Among the various electronic bits is a fuel computer that was an option when new (it includes a trip function and a digital fuel gauge). It's very rare
• Ford Fiesta - Ford 'capless fuel' 20 Jul 2014 (Forum)
  I've just taken delivery of a newish Ford, and was surprised by the lack of a petrol locking cap.  The fuel flap can be opened without a key or inside cab release leaver, albeit there appears to be a strong spring door that will only allow the right fuel nozzle
• All makes - Maximum fuel efficiency speed 15 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  Radio 2's homwork query today at 6.45pm was 'at what speed would a car cover a set distance using the least fuel?' The answer was rather flimsy, but apparently 52-56 mph [ignoring all the car variables etc]. Most time was spent waffling on about making sure the boot was empty and so forth
• 52 TDCi Mondeo Auto (Ghia) - New fuel pump - TDCi Mondeo 5 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  Just a quickie, Mother needs a new fuel pump for her '52 2.0 TDCI (130) Auto Mondeo. Just want to clarify which fuel pump to buy; there are several around on eBay which all look identical, ranging from £120 to £500+; are they the same or are there subtle differences
