Audi;

Audi’s have a fair share of misfuelings, they have some fantastic diesel engines and are becoming very popular, here’s a short piece on how to fix the a misfuelled AUDI.

A3, has the same under bench tank system as a golf, so if you have misfueled an audi, and not driven it, simply yank up the back seat bench – which unclips, and unscrew the tank cover, you can then directly access the tank and drain the fuel from the audi – without having to go to an audi main dealer for wrong fuel removal

    Hi, i have an 05 mazda 6 diesel and i’m not sure if i put petrol in it, i topped up £40 as normal and drove it about 8 miles home, it did feel slightly lumpy at low speed, but when i put my foot down it was ok, nearly home the engine started sounding noisy and when i got back it wouldn,t start straight away and when it did start it ticked over ok, but when i revved the engine it juddered and sounded loud…with a large puff of white smoke, as i say, i dont know if i put petrol in, sounds stupid i know, but i was kinda on auto pilot!!….would these symptons be a fuel mix up????

      Hi Jon, yes that sounds like youve put the wrong fuel in, when an engine is already warm it can just about cope – which yours did, but they will not start from cold with the wrong fuel, a fuel drain on that is a straight forward job for a fuel mechanic

      Hi Kevin, no photos of x5 fuel system but if you unbolt the plastic engine cowling you will see the fuel lines,on the tank is the silver strap round? – if it is then needs quite a hefty smack to unscrew, I use a very large screwdriver and a rubber mallet, hit it hard (man hard) and it will untwist, call me on the phone if you run into trouble with it
