Too true. I went out to fill my Mondeo up with Diesel this morning, and on the way home, Radio 4 was noticebly weak.

]Maybe we should group together and take out a class action against Tesco. If enough of us get together it would be difficult for them to argue. I could include the slight tear in the drivers seat - I'm sure that happened just after I filled up.

George, it could be bad fuel (Silicon content) causing a bad o2 sensor... but tesco fuel also has a high ethanol content, which can cause acellorated deteriation of rubber components....
In particular, the 944 S2 can be prone to fuel pressure regulator failure, either causing high fuel pressure, or a leaking diaphragm causing raw fuel to creep up the vacuum hose into the intake... if your diaphragm was on the way out anyway, the higher content of ethanol could have caused it to fail a little earlier.
Take off the vacuum hose from the fuel pressure regulator and the fuel dampener and smell the nipples and hoses to see if they smell of fuel. if so, you probably have a ruptured diaphragm

Tony Blair and George Bush have just announced that the contaminated fuel from Tesco's was actually part of a plot hatched by Osama Bin Laden and the Iranian leadership... Carpet bombing of Iran is due to start tonight.
In the name of Anti Terrorism Measures, Tony Blair has decided to raise taxes on fuel by another 20 pence per litre and charge motorists £300 for each and every car on the road, so that immediately tracking devices can be fitted.
During the same press conference, George Bush also mentioned he planned on killing at least 4 million Iranians and one double glazing salesman during the bombing of Iran.... When a reporter from the New York Times asked "Why the windows salesman?", George Bush turned to Tony Blair and said "See, I told you no one would care if we bombed and killed the Iranians!"

Jon - I'm quite happy to allow your anti-American propaganda and besmirching the name of the great TB, but the above does not really constitute technical advice....[8|]

ROFL... That reminds me of a funny proverb I once heard.
"Man who goes to bed with itchy bum, wake up with smelly finger"
In all seriousnes though, I did pause for a moment to think of better more impressive teminology for the nipples, but after 4 seconds I gave up, giggled and hit send anyway.
Don't worry, my funny phase should end any moment, normal technical service will resume.

Well, I'm touching wood as I type this, but I got the car back from Hartech on Friday, and after a change of DME Relay, Hall Sender, Ignition Pickup and Oxygen Sensor, she's running beautifully again, I've just had 100 trouble free miles.
Now all I want is some sunny weather....[]
