fuel

hi all new on here, my car is cutting out and sounds like its running on 3 cylinders when i go under 1/4 tank of fuel? my send on its way out? uprated internal fuel pump fitted wrong? spec is gt28rs with all trimmings and fully forged thanks

1.8 20V T - PETROL. Had a search but no joy, can anyone please tell me if this is a simple DIY job and where is it located ? :help: Thanks in advance :redface:

I've already driven 250km on the same tank but the fuel gauge is still showing full tank! To those of you whom are metric illiterate - 250km is approximately half a tank worth of driving. Any suggestions?

Since installing my TIP and cone filter I get a very strong fuel smell on startup especially. Is this normal?

I think my leon is a bit hard on fuel, not sure. Its a 1.4 stella, mostly just me most of the time. Mixture of motorway miles and secondary roads. And I don't drive it so, nor driving it fast. For a tank of petol getting about 370?

Hi, I have a 2003 1.4 TDI S Arosa and I was wondering what I should get out of a full tank, I can only get just over 300 miles out of a full tank city driving, is this normal as I was expecting more :(

I want to change my fuel filter, but I don't know where it is... Dug this up from VagCat, but this doesn't say where on earth it is! Is the same for all the petrols? - It simply says "otto engine". I know in VAG diesels the fuel filter generally is in the engine bay, so this diagram has...

I leant my parents my car for an hour today and they have put £20 of normal unleaded in the tank :banned: Is there any effects or problems doing this? I know when mapped they are setup to run on 99 ron or similar which is worrying Cheers

Just started in the last couple of days,its strange i dont understand.does it make a noise when its on its way out or could it be something else? im 99% sure it fuel pump aswell as i had the back seat up and its underneath the black plastic circle with the 3screws in thats under the rear...

Was told at a recent service that remapp was causing car to over fuel. The evidence was in the fact the "oil had a smell of petrol" Run car through diagnostics and all came back fine. Through many phone calls and conversing with many different people I have come to the conclusions that...

Hi, new problem,:( Fuel down to empty, well in to the red, computer reading Zero miles left in tank. But no warning light coming on? A bit worried as I'm sure I've seen it on once before, Any ideas would be of interest?? My golf has no warning light at all but don't want to have the same...

As we all know the reserve light comes on very early on the ibizas. normally when i put £20 diesel in the light comes on after around 170/180 miles (driving style permitting). But last 2-3 weeks or so Ive noticed my car seems to be using more fuel. £20...reserve light coming on after around...

:blink: Hi got in the car last night (Alhambra1.9 tdi 02 ) and the fuel gauge wasnt working - dont think the temp guage is either?! Are they on a fuse together - if so which one? I only have the owners handbook which is as useful as a scuba divers brolley! cheers

Just wondering how many miles I should get after the light comes on? I've got 35 before, but I was driving like a granny! Today i'm at work and done 23, with 9 miles to get home, and got no money on me. It's an 05 1.4 sport. Thanks.

Guy s my car is struggling to tick over and the revs are jumping between 500-1000 (bouncing up and down) and there is a strong smell of fuel. My EPC light is on and also my engine management light comes on eventually. :cry: Has this happenend to anyone before, just want to know what it could...

Anyone know the part number for an LCR fuel filter ? also when are they suposed to be changed as cant see it in the manual ? ta

I've been told that replacing the fuel filter regulary can help engine performance as the old filter can get clogged up. Has anyone else heard this or tried it?:think:

weve got an 03 Seat Toledo which has a constant stream of air bubbles running along the transparent fuel line. once the car is started it doesnt seem to affect performance, but heres the wierd thing: start after 8hr day at work OK. start in the morning, hmm, needs at least 2-3 goes, it...

when does your fuel warning buzzer go off. ive never let mine get that low but just for once i thought i would try it and check that it worked. it went off when i had only 35 miles left but it went to zero in just 15 miles :scary:

I saw this interesting bit from fifth gear. They tested three different cars (clio, golf gti mk5, and imprezza) and three different fuels. On the GTi the difference between the 95 "supermarket" fuel and the Shell Optimax showed only a 5 HP difference. they didn't test for mpg but still, really...
