petrol

Just a question to gauge what you guys think. Does any one else here perhaps think that the petrol flap should have been flush with the body and not have the little exposed section where you put your finger in to open it? I still can't decide if it is ok or not. Just looking at the rear of the...

I have a mk1 leon and for some reason unknown to me the petrol cap will not open when i press the button it makes a mechanical sound as if its acknowledged it and something maybe moveing but it doesnt open the cap i have to pull it open with my nails and iv noticed today the clip has started to...

hi as the topic says, which fuel is better, what is Your opinion and why?.

I had to goto one of these pay at pump petrol stations yesterday as my local garage was shut so had to use 95 ron at asda. Today my boost is all over the place - sometimes holding 14psi and other times not even holding 10. Can this be put down to crap fuel?

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...

Hi all, just come home from work to find out the mrs has put petrol into our 1.9tdi leon fr then drove it home! She put 7liters of petrol into the tank and then realised so filled up the rest with diesel to the top then drove home. There is no probs at the moment but I dont know what to do now...

Hi. I've recently bought a Seat Alhambra (2.0 Petrol 1997). There was not a service history with the car and so I am planning to do the cambelt and tensioner along with the waterpump(very noisy) to be on the safe side. I have changed several cambelts in the past, and the crank pulley bolts...

Any reason why a Milltek exhaust system for a Cupra or petrol FR won't fit a FR TDI? Thanks, Danny.

Hey folks, So im still at the halfway house of deciding whether to change to a Cupra TDI, from a Cupra 1.8T. The daily commute will be about 35 miles, and of course theres all the other usual driving trips outside of work etc. It will generally be motorway miles, but with a bit of stop...

it would be really appreciated if anyone can point me in the right direction. there is a strong petrol smell coming in through the vents when the blowers are on. Have checked the obvious like fuel lines and injector rail and everything is dry. it very strong when stopped at lights, Anyone any...

Now I am driving the 8v I just cant get the thing over 30.1 mpg and I always have a whiff of petrol around. Especially in the mornings when its cold. The engine is spotless, no oil drops or visible drops of petrol. Ive reset the ECU again last night but again still no joy. It had a service...

I have a 2004 1.4 Ibiza petrol and find that you have to be so heavy footed for it to move anywhere from a stop and really is not nippy. Also my fuel is shcoking, one full tank lasts around 210 miles before the fuel light comes again! It's costing me a bomb to run and I just don't know why it's...

Help me PLEEEAAASE! :) Why is there 2 petrol cap switches, and why doesnt one of them work? Only the one near the handbrake works. Also, how do i change the time on the clock? Thanks

I thought I wanted a petrol FR but now I'm not sure. I don't do loads of miles but from what I'm hearing some people prefer the diesel in day to day driving. Maybe its because of the low down kick. I was interested in what someone on here said, that the petrol is too even through the revs so...
