• Vw Passat 2.0TDI 140bhp - New fuel injectors on Passat improve mpg 11 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  I bought an 08 Passat with 90K on the clock 18 months ago and was disappointed with getting an average 40mpg doing 20K a year on mostly long motorway runs. It was recalled in January 2012 for new fuel injectors after which the consumption increased to almost 46mpg. As VW have known about

  Hi I have recently been a victim of 4 x fuel injector failure in my 2006 VW Passat 2.0 TDi SE. I am considering changing to a 2009 09 Reg SKODA Octavia 1.9 TDI PD SE. Does anyone know which type of injector is used in the Octavia. I wouldn't buy it if the Siemens piezo injectors are used

• Ford Fiesta Flight 1.3 R Reg second hand fuel pump 29 Sep 2010 (Forum)
  My car refused to start and the AA diagnosed a shorted turn fuel pump. Garage wants £552.25 for a new one. excluding labour. Outrageous for a 13yr old car. I can't afford to replace the car nor pay silly money for a pump. A washing machine pump is around £15 and there isn't that much

  Hi, I have recently acquired a 1997 fiat punto.  When I took it to the petrol station it won't fill up, just puts a pound or two in then clicks off.  This is despite the fuel tank showing empty.  Now it has started revving madly when I drive it and attempting to run
• Nissan Sunny (1986 - 1991) - 88 1.4 Fuel and temp guages both not working 17 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  I bought this car as a very cheap little runaround after the demise of my Peugeot van but the fuel and temp guages dont register anything. It might be coincidence that they are both not working but I wonder if there is a known fault, maybe behind the dash. (The two guages are side by side). Other

• Subaru Legacy and Outback Petrol (2004 - 2009) - 2.0 - Fuel economy around town 23 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  AT 70mph this delivers me an indicated 35mpg (borne out by brim-to-brim), and at an indicated 80 it delivers an indicated 31-32 (again borne out by brim-to-brim). But around town I can watch the fuel gauge falling as I drive. I doubt it's delivering 10mpg. Is this normal? In the sort of traffic

  I need to remove the fuel flap on my 406 estate. I've trawled through the 'Paynes' manual but there seems to be nothing telling me how to remove it. There is a hook shaped piece on it that has broken off and this is preventing it being 'flipped open when pulling the release cable. Anyone removed
• Motorists to vote labour out 26 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  "Rocketing prices at the fuel pumps could lead motorists to vote out the Government, a poll claims today. Two-thirds of 18,500 AA members surveyed said they would vote for a different government should petrol prices rise to between 125p and 149p a litre." Firstly, lets all hope that fuel prices

• Supermarket Fuel 30 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  There are 3 diesels in the family - and all of us have nnoticed that when we use supermarket fuel (especially Tesco) we get 3 to 5 mpg LESS than we do when we fill up with Shell. Fortunately, our Shell garage sells at the same price (sometimes cheaper - even with Tesco 5p off a litre) than
