GTD with petrol in

[R32UK]

its usually petrol engines that seem to choke on the black stuff. Diesel engines seem quite happy to have a little drink of the good stuff from time to time.

Steve, you are brilliant mate, thanks for the laugh 

Just syphon it out yourself mate, dont pay £300!

I have laughed at so many people who did the same thing over the yrs, I never in a million yrs thought i would do that . The car seems to be runing fine, I have been shi**ing myself thinking the valves are going to go?  Do I need to change the fuel filter now , and how much are they?

Hi Steve

Did you manage to sort it out yourself or get the so called experts out?

Funnily enough I went from a Mk5 GT to the GTI so I've been paranoid about doing the same thing.

Hi Martin, no I had to get some bloke out from East Grinsted off the net!! The one from VW breakdown I lost the will to live TBH was waiting 4hrs for him, still no show

East Grinsted is down my neck of the woods.... I went to school there.

You would think it would be so easy to invent a petrol / diesel pump nozzel that physicaly only fits the correct fuel type cars. Perhaps I will invent one then and your see me on Dragons Den next year making a complete as*e out of myself

You might want to watch a few previous episodes before you go on and pitch your "new" idea

Change it after you've done another 100 miles or so, making sure you keep the tank brimmed

Think they are about £30 or so; 5 minute job to change too

Especially for oil burners. Diesel nozzles don't fit into modern petrol filler necks if I remember rightly. Nealry did it myself once on a previous car, but wifey was on the ball and screamed at me like a banshee to stop. Still don't know to this day what made her look. Up till then I used to ridicule people who did it  :embarassed:
