chrisrhondda Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Hi all i have a c5 vtr 2.0hdi 110bhp, i tried using biodiesel in the car and it knackered up my fuel pump. So i purchased a used pump off ebay and had it fitted to the car. Works fine no probs, but i have noticed lately that on tick over now and again its like as if its struggling to run and sounds awful lumpy and spluttery. I've changed the fuel filter and air filter and used greased lightning entire fuel system cleaner and still no luck. Also sometimes when driving its like as if the car hesitates when i change gear again this happens now and again not all the time. I know i shouldn moan but it gets annoying from time to time. If someone can point me in the right direction as to what this could be that would be great. RegardsChris :) Quote

chrisrhondda Posted October 31, 2008 Author Posted October 31, 2008 Hi there, no sorry i haven had a check on them yet??? do you recon that what it should be ? Quote
coastline taxis Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 id get them checked as they dont like bio fuel anymore than the pump does Quote
myglaren Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Strange - I used Bio for the best part of a year - originally from WVO but then from virgin rapeseed oil.There was no discernible difference in running to dino diesel and while the source has now dried up and I'm on dino again, there have been no problems whatsoever with the pump or injectors.
