[Guest]

any idea if it has affected dundee area??

having problems with my car a golf vr6 think the ECU is dead.

from what i have heard on the news it's the kind of thing that has happened with this bad fuel.

ran for a while and would backfire etc. need to get the lambda probe checked but am currently offshore.

any sort of info line about information on this would be useful.

This story says "Tesco has set up a helpline for people who fear they may have been affected: 0800 028 6428"

me put red in a car paddy u mad me never!! only for 60k miles in my old car on the farm of course []

been doing a bit of research and there is no way it is due to the bad fuel more like an electrical fault or bad wire somewhere
