Do you think it would be cheeky of me to ask for some sort of refund for the fuel in the tank of an Octavia that I have part exchanged for a new Kodiaq, it’s about two thirds full of diesel and the Kodiaq is petrol.

This situation must crop up regularly, I did get more than I was expecting for my old car.

I've been wondering the same. I am partexing with approx 35 ltrs diesel in the tank. The car I am buying is petrol and when I took it for a test drive the low fuel light/warning activated. I'll be asking for some petrol when I pick it up on Monday

Ask them to match the fuel in the tank to the new car like for like, only fair!

Good idea
