mk5 TDI funked ???
« on: 13 April 2005, 11:04 »
Morning all !!

One of our Sales girls at work managed to fill her spanking new TDI up with unleaded today !! I drove past her shortly after and couldn't work out why she was kangeroo'ing down the road. After getting to the office I soon found out why !

Anyone got any idea how much this costs to sort these days ?? I wanna get my wooden spoon out !

A guy at work did the same thing to his passat, i think the AA came along and just drained the tank, pulled out the injectors and cranked it over until if pissed out all the petrol.

But that doesn't mean we didn't extract the urine ! especially with classic clips like this one

Worse case scenario, new engine and new injector pump.
