  • Pug 306 diesel, fuel temp regulator 29 Jul 2005 (Forum)
    Hi, I recently had to replace one of the leaking o-rings on the fuel regulator in the fuel filter housing.

  • Petrol engined cars which prefer RON 98 fuel - Is 'premium fuel' as premium as it used to be? 25 Feb 2018 (Forum)
    I occasionally treat the uberwagen to a tankful of 'premium' fuel in the probably mistaken belief that it will spring clean the injectors and 'do the engine good'. (I have previously proved that the percentage better fuel consumption is considerably less than the percentage increase in price

    My Laguna comes up with Injection fault everytime the fuel gauge reaches the top of the red section of the fuel gauge when the fuel is getting low. When the fuel is above this the car goes great without any problems which leads me to think that there is nothing wrong with the injectors

The most obvious way to do this is to put economic pressure on the motorist to use less fuel

    There seems to be a recurring debate as to whether there really is a benefit to the branded fuels recommended by HJ (Texaco & Shell) compared to supermarket fuel that many people use.
