• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 96 1.9 Fuel Pump Solenoid? or Is It The Pump? 3 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Hi Pug 306 td 1996 3 door sports Lucas pump I was doing about 50 mph up hill, when the car suddenly lost power and now does not start. The nice man from the RAC (Mick) was really good and thinks its either the solenoid or the rota arm in the fuel pump. The fuel is getting to the pump but does

• Audi A4 (1995 - 2000) - 1997 1.8 Fuel Management Problem. I Think! 7 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  cut out and then go back up again. I changed the fuel filter 2 months ago which helped a bit for a while but the problem has came back full force. There's also a loud hissing noise from the petrol cap which i'm unsure about. I was thinking it may be a clogged fuel pick up or the pump has seen better
• Volkswagen Golf V (2004 - 2008) - 05 2.0SDI Possible fuel pump problem. 12 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  if I dont push down on the accelerator) At a guess, could this be the fuel pump? Is this something that happens to Golfs? My SDI has only done 55k miles. I have also noticed that my fuel consumption has increased over the last 2 months from where i was getting approx 450 from the tank recently I

• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 1999 2.0 HDI Air in fuel line? 23 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  Hi, I very stupidly let my car run out of diesel the other day, she started fine when I put fuel in her and I drove to work. I then drove home and it was still ok (although the engine diagnostics light was on) but when I tried to start her again it wouldnt kick in, I am assuming there is air
• Peugeot 406 (1999 - 2004) - 02 2.0 diesel fuel filter 15 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  Hi, Today was the day I dusted off the spanners and gave my Pug 406 a service. When I got the service items I wanted a fuel filter only to be told there were two types - Bosch and another which i think began with Tec??? As I was not in the Pug to check which one was fitted, I thought I could leave
• Has fuel consumption improved? 29 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  I've just been looking at my 'What Car' magazine (August 2008) and there is a section about reducing fuel consumption. They've done some tests on cars to show how the speed in top gear effects the consumption, and the results for the Aygo are rather shocking IMHO. The Aygo gets 61mpg
• higher fuel prices = opportunities for luxury cars 20 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  Speaking personally, higher fuel prices mean that sooner, rather than later, I can finally afford that luxury car I have always wanted. I only drive 6k miles p.a.and working part time make full use of a cheap rail fare to work. Looking at recent auction reports, I may soon be able to purchase
• Audi A3 + S3 (1996 - 2001) - 1999 1.8 - Fuel Additives - Sluggish Acceleration 31 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  shift down before there is acceleration except my car is a manual! The car is an Audi A3 1.8 petrol manual built 1999. Air mass meter was replaced about 18 months ago so I am sure it isn't that (thankfully!). My hope is that maybe there is some crud in the fuel tank which can be blasted out with some
• A bigger engine = worse fuel economy? 15 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  Hi, Been looking for a new mid-mpv, at my price range I can get a nearly new 1.6 or 1.8 Zafira or a bit older diesel, pretty much the same situation on the other cars I have looked at. I am keen to get as fuel efficient car as I can, my current Picasso gives around 35 mpg on longer trips
• Vectra problems 29 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  I have a 2.2TDi 03 Elegance I had problems last year which meant the Emergency engine mgt prog cutting in, without warning, which was downright dangerous. After 2 attempts to solve this "known" problem , diagnosed as a software fault, my local dealer then diagnosed a problem with the fuel being
• vw 110tdi power loss 5 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  going up steepish hills. The car's fine until about 2500rpm, at which point the power just seems to die. It's as though someone's turned off the fuel supply. The fuel economy is unaffected. A 400 mile trip along the south coast last week still returned well over 50 mpg and I don't generally hang about
• 1987 Golf GTi missing on right bends 9 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  but instantaneously come back to life meaning the car lurches for a few seconds then seems to recover. The fuel pump has been noisy for years but the misfire/cutouts seem to be related to when the noisy fuel pump whirr becomes an bit irregular. OK I thought, could be the fuel filter so changed that, then the fuel
• Diesel filter priming - Mk4 Golf. 7 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  Can anyone recommend how I should prime a new diesel filter for fittment to a MkIV Golf TDI engine. There is no manually operated pump to prime the fuel system - or if there is I cant locate it..... It also states in the handbook that if you run out of fuel, it may take the engine longer than

  I have had my Mk3 Golf now for around 2 months. I have been keeping a check on the fuel consumption. I am doing between 32 and 35 mpg. Its a 1.4 CL 4 Speed. I drive about 20 miles a day (in and out of work), most of which is on dual carridge way, some of which is up hill. don't drive it that hard
• Fuel Company Loyalty Schemes 11 Aug 2002 (Forum)
  Following the demise of Asda offering a fuel card with points to be redeemed for future shopping bills (I bought more fuel, instead of food shopping), who now offers the best value scheme? As the Shell station near the Asda store price match, I have now started to use their card. Looks like
