luke_clifton Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Fitted a new fuel filter today, as advised by deano. I can't belive just how much better the car runs. Absolutly no hunting, missing, holding back at all. Spool up/down noise is back noisier than ever, and the best thing..... My pops and bangs during gear change have returned. I'm so thankful to deano, for advising me not to buy a new lambda sensor, and try the fuel filter (£6 cured my troubles lol). For the first time since i've owned the car, it doesen't hold back, and miss slightly. Oh one more slightly worrying note, is the amount of black bits that came out of the fuel filter (both the in & out nozzles). Next up, Oil change and brake pads, both need doing soon. Anyone know where i can get a set of pads from? i'm not looking to spend massive amounts on them, as i'm looking to upgrade disks & calipers soon. Link to comment

Deano 666 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 As promised in the other thread, pics. Im glad the fuel filter done the trick. give me a call i can get your pads for you. Link to comment
luke_clifton Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 Ah exellent, thanks. I'll give you a call next week sometime. Had one slight issue earlier with the new filter. Just after i filled up, the car cut out (on the forecourt exit ramp lol). I primed the system again, how you said, and it's been fine since. I was very low on fuel before going into the garage, and had to wait for some women to finish doing whatever the hell they do before pulling away. Air in the system from fuel filter maybe?

Garth W Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hi Deano got anymore of them nice stickers? i'll help get your name about! Link to comment
luke_clifton Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 sorry to retrieve this post from the dead, but i wanted to ask if it was normal to be recieving a lower mpg than before changing the fuel filter. I have just reset the ecu and only driven for 72miles so i'm guessing it's still in 'Learn' mode. Not had chance to take the car past 3000rpm yet, but there is a huge improvement in low end torque. Thanks Link to comment
