HI

recently chopped my old 1.9TDI estate in for a 6 month old 2.0 CRS TDI estate

I have what appears to be a misfire when engine is lightly loaded but acclerating from 1300 RPM (ish) to 1500 RPM. Sometimes badly and then somtimes not for a while. Currently it feels like its missing all the time though the last tank full it didn't miss ab beat

local skoda garage have had a look and can see that one injector is "different" to the others but Skoda HQ asked that they get the fuel checked (fill up before this one when it didn't miss) and surprise suprise its contaminated !!

I KNOW it has a problem but befroe I go in all guns blazing has anyone else experienced a similar problem?

Thanks

Tris

You didn't fill up at a super market petrol station.

The fuel they just tested (BP) and said is contaminated didn't miss!

The fuel in the tank I have right now was some of Tescos best and I have a misfire again.

I think I'll get another tank of the so called contaminated BP fuel and see if it goes away again

I suspect that the injector is marginal and shows up worse if I have some properly "iffy" fuel in

hey ho let battle commence!

Tris,

I had pretty much the same issue when I filled up from a certain BP garage.

I thought it was the DSG box; reset by dealer, all ok again..............next week, back again.

Used the garage twice before I stopped using it completely.

Never had the issue reappear again (fill up at Shell only now).

Personally, I think you've had contaminated fuel.

I'd give a shot of engine cleaner, then fill up somewhere you've done before when this didn't occur and see how you go.

That's worrying. Crappy diesel could knacker the expensive CR gubbins
