• Micra Running Problem 6 May 2007 (Forum)
  My 1.0 1994 Micra is running very rough,this mainly happens at over 30 mph and it seems to be a fuel supply problem as it will be ok and then be very jerky,when you put your foot to the floor nothing happens to the accelaration, the injection fuse is ok but the fuel filter looks like the original

• 1.9TD XUD fuel filter draining 17 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  Just been browsing the Haynes manual for my car (Citroen Xsara), and apparently I'm supposed to be regularly draining the fuel filter. Aha, says I, that's what that little hose is for. Now, according to the book, I unscrew the little valve and wait until diesel free of water emerges from the hose
• Why be bothered about fuel consumption? 5 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  I was wondering why people get so worried about fuel consumption and less concerned about other costs for the car that negate any saving? It seems a lot of people buy a diesel but dont think about either depreciation or cost of servicing, or just other general running costs. Sometimes it appears
• F reg Espace fuel pump relay location? 19 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  Car broke down yesterday. Had the RAC out who, although he got the car going, couldn't find the faulty relay. We are certain that the fuel pump has it's own relay somewhere...just don't know where. The Haynes manual is fairly useless as it doesn't even list it. RAC technical centre said
• VW noisy fuel injector 12 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  My VW Bora will idle quietly for a moment or two before this loud "tappety" noise starts up from the engine compartment. Its loudness never fails to draw comment from passengers. The noise is coming from what I think is the fuel injector on the front top left of the engine. You can feel
• BP Ultimate Fuel 11 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  I suppose this fuel is intended to rival Shell Optimax. Filled up the other day with BP Ultimate diesel and noted that it was 6p a litre dearer than my usual Total. Only did it because we do not have the BP or Shell round our way. It better be good - a big improvement in mpg is needed to make
• 405 - Carb or fuel injection? 9 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  Morning all I've just acquired a 93 Peugeot 405 1.6GL but have no idea whether it is fuel injected or not. I've had a quick gander under the bonnet and didn't see anything that looked like a carb (can't spell the full name!). Mind you, my technical knowledge is only slightly greater than HF's

• Vectra Fuel Filter 12 May 2003 (Forum)
  Help please! A bit of a novice when it comes to DIY repairs! 1997 P reg Vectra 1.6 16V LS, 94000 miles, very hesitant under acceleration. Feels like a fuel flow problem, so decided to invest in a new filter. Had the car since new, but don't think the filter has ever been changed. Just one
• Storing fuel injectors 7 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  I have just had a Saab performance upgrade kit fitted to my 2.0 Saab 9-5 which consists of a new ECU plus a set of different fuel injectors. I plan on keeping the old ECU and injectors in case I decide to migrate back to the original setup (e.g. on change of car). My question is, what is the best
• Accurate Fuel Guages 14 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  Does any modern car have a really accurate fuel guage that can tell you, say, when you have 1 litre left in your tank? My Golf(Mk4) is supposed to have 55L capacity with the low warning light coming on with 7L left. I can always put in 51-52L if I fill as soon as it comes on. On the other hand I
