Happy Christmas to you all
Just something I thought I would share. My stepson had difficulty with his Rapid Spaceback 1.4tdi hard starting and rough running when cold.
My trusted independent could find no fault and pointed me in the direction of the main dealer.
At this point they had tried a known good air mass, checked the glow plugs and drained the tank and changed the fuel filter at my request as there were no fault codes.
Worrying about this as it was approaching Christmas and having spent £135 already it went Mitchell Skoda at Cheshire Oaks
Despite there high work load they resolved the issue with guided fault finding and the use of VAG fuel system cleaner G001790M3.
The car now runs like a watch and I am really impressed with the result so much so I purchased a further 3 bottles on line from Dennis Horton for the rest of our family fleet.
So despite changing the fuel filter every 10k you can still come a cropper with dirty fuel.
Merry Christmas
