If Bio has been used and it is the cause of the damage then is it not possible that there is still sludge in the system and that any repairs will only be temporary as more sludge will find its way into the repaired parts, if this is the case then a complete clean out of the fuel system would be required.

buyer beware
right guys were shall i start,i bought the car in dec 2010 and from the word go the car was reluctant to start and got steadily worse,i took it to a local fuel injection specialist who diagnosed a serious fuel problem,he removed the injectors and took them to be looked at and all 4 injectors were clogged up with some kind of gunge.
it transpires that the fuel system was contaminated with somekind of dodgy bio fuel,the car got so bad that it was cutting out and refused to start, he had the injectors cleaned and refurbed £400,cleaned out the tank replaced the injectors and the car ran fine for 1/2 hour then cut out and refused to start,hethen removed the injectors again and took them back to be looked at only to find they were clogged up again,he removed the high pressure pump and found it completely gummed up,so much so that it was completely u/s so it to be replaced by a refurbed pump £350+vat,he then replaced the injectors,completely flushed out the fuel system and hey presto now running like clockwork, total cost including parts and many hours of labour (he stopped counting the hours after a while as the cost was rocketing) £1340 !!!!! the moral of the story is caveat emptor.....and never,ever use any other type of fuel other than standard diesel,ps thanks for all your advice |

So much for being ECO FRIENDLY
It has always been the advice by learned members on this Club's Forums to avoid bio/chip-fat fuels...... and here is a point in case It's a DIESEL engine........ End of. Glad you got it sorted John Now enjoy the pleasure of driving

Hi I Know this question problem was some time ago but Drakes Garage at Shiptonthorpe no longer have a T4 kit from what I gather: it was water damaged when I needed a diagnosis and I had to go elsewhere. This was 2015 so maybe they've sorted since. Do check first!

Intermittent starting problem with my newly purchased 75 Tourer!
Same problem, had the AA out 4times in the last two days!! Resulted in being recovered back on a truck! Have read all I can and even though I tried to get them to check things they said they all said oh no it's not that it's this and so on! Nightmare!!! As put back on the road , sat in to park, turned once, spot on start! Also the 8 times after! Mad, must have thought our neighbours! Same this morning, cold.. Started first turn! When warmed up after 10 min drive, turned for 20 seconds, eventually start! Two more failed attempts! After 4 hours or so of cooling started after 10 sec turn and then subsequently after 3sec start! Taking him to the garage tomorrow, let's pray it's what I have learned after reading advice on forums and net! Camshaft sensor! Cheap fix I hear, but dread it might be injectors! Any suggestions if that isn't it?? Thanks

Alex get it on a diagnostics pref someone with a T4 otherwise it's a guessing game !
Meanwhile some DIY checks..................... How much fuel is in it? Is the rear pump working? Is the front pump running? (if fitted) The AA will refuse to come to you eventually. If no joy get it recovered here or to another good specialist

pump under bonnet
So in the end, after having it tested by my mechanic friend with his Snap-on test computer, it turns out to be the fuel pump under bonnet! So all 4 AA so called mechanics were telling me lots of porkies and are utterly useless as I kept telling them - I think it's the fuel pump as it shouldn't be so loud and go for so long! Well ordered the pump on ebay, will fit it and see...unfortunately have to wait till Tuesday for it to be delivered! Hopefully it solves the problem as everything else is spot on!
