• Premium fuels 12 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  as smooth but gave about 15% extra mileage. This is in my 60k Passat 130, I was wondering if VAG PD engines respond particularly well to premium fuels or if this an across the board benefit?
• Fuel Gauge Honda Civic 26 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  Hi the Fuel gauge on my 1995 civic has started acting erratically, it has only done it twice, once when the tank was low, it started displaying over full, and once when 2/3 full again displaying over full eg off the scale. What is most likely to be at fault? The sensor in the tank or the gauge
• Millers Diesel Power Plus 14 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  I know H.J. is a strong advocate of the above product for keeping injectors clean and adding lubricity to the fuel to prolong fuel pump life. Its use has been discussed on this forum sometime ago, but I have run a search and been unable to trace any threads on the subject. As I do a lot
• Fill 'er up 1 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  I did that rare thing yesterday: read the handbook for my Golf VR6.

I can't find similar
• Diesel exhaust smells 26 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  I have a Galaxy TDI, my wife has a Scenic DTi. Both use fuel from the same pump at the same garage. Why do the exhaust gases smell different? The Renault's has a particularly distinctive whiff (and has done since new) which doesn't actually seem to change if a different brand of fuel is used
• Herald starting 22 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  I have a Herald 13/60. If it has stood for, say, a couple of weeks, it takes a long time winding it round on the starter before it starts. However, if I start it the day after it has been run, it jumps into life very quickly. I suspect, as the fuel pump is mechanical, the fuel drains back
• Noisy fuel pump 11 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  Just nipped home for lunch in my Audi Coupe. Slowed down to turn into my drive, and... what's that whining noise? The previously silent fuel pump now sounds like someone has left a cordless power drill running in the boot. Any suggestions? I suspect this may be expensive. I left the car
• Fuel Mixtures 10 May 2001 (Forum)

  Bought a fuel filter and an oil filter recently;fuel filter was marked "Motorcraft" as usual but the oil filter was marked "FoMoCo";a trademark that I thought was long gone but the part was not for an old car.
• How does a fuel gauge work? 3 May 2005 (Forum)
  Specifically my Zafira 1.6 - gauge seems to vary a lot. Do they have a floaty type thing or is it more technologically advanced than that?

  come on since. A diagnostic check at a Peugeot dealer cleared the fault code but only pointed the technician to the fuel system in general, nothing specific. It's done just over 64000 miles. Has anyone else had this problem and had it fixed? Also what would be the best one shot fuel system
