• Mk2 Golf Leaded or Unleaded? 4 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  Hi, I recently bought a 1988 Golf GTI 8V. The previous owner told me he only used unleaded petrol, although he only drove 5,000 miles in it. The filler cap seems to indicate that the car was originally manufactured to use leaded fuel. I've looked in the owners manual but there are no clues

  the car is on a level and a hill and both when it's cold and hot. Also maybe connected my fuel guage is all over the place, when I started it this morning it was on reserve for about 5 mins and then shot up to 1/4 tank. Thanks Trinity
• Saxo-106 Fuel filter 4 Dec 2002 (Forum)

• minis are dangerous! 6 Sep 2001 (Forum)
  All new Mini's are being recalled to BMW's Oxford factory because of a design fault that could cause an explosion when the cars are being filled with fuel. Static electricity could cause a small spark when a petrol pump nozzle is inserted which could in turn ignite fuel vapour in a flash fire
• Biodiesel 2 Jul 2001 (Forum)
  Having recently bought a diesel (Golf GT TDI - we were originally going for the Seat Leon 20VT Cupra but for a 25000 miles pa fuel bill) I was curious to see where I could purchase biodiesel or find out if or when it would be available. A trawl of the web has yielded some interesting technical
• Fuel additive 18 Dec 2000 (Forum)
  to coking up because of short-trip usage. I did solve it finally, with VAG's own fuel additive (part number G 001 700 03), which eliminated the problem entirely and gave me first-feather-touch-of the-key starting as well. I've sworn by it ever since and it's cheaper than the stuff you can get from

• road tax 14 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  I know its an old old chestnut but why don't we scrap all this road tax and pricing and just tax fuel? If you don't drive much then you save, if you have a guzzler you might lose but there would be no tax dodgers and you have some freedom on how much fuel to use.
