fixing a 2010 1.7 16v CDTI

[doski]

Just as a side note when was the fuel filter last changed? Obviously nothing to do with the current issue but these are a bit fussy on them, I change mine every 7000 miles as this engine is well known for the 'turkey gobble' sound which is air in the fuel lines, mine starts to hesitate under hard acceleration when it's ready to be changed.. Stick a new filter in it & it's perfect again. Takes 2 mins to change, it's just in front of the drivers side rear wheel, screw off the cap.. Swap filter & job done.

Thanks, knowing my friend probably 40k ago when he bought it ?.

I'll do it anyway now along with taking off his pod filter he thought sounded good.

It's a shame it's a nice car just hope it's not piston rings/ bores.
