Fuel Flap Creep Fix?

09 February 2013 - 09:29 PM

Is there a way for fixing fuel flap creep rather than the Ford bodge of not actually fixing it but filing bits of plastic off so it doesn't catch the bodywork?

Can you get at it via the boot and pull it back 1/2 cm?

Fuel Leaking On Floor When Filling Up.

16 September 2012 - 07:39 PM

I know there have been reported problems with the super-dooper Ford capless fuel filler system.

Mine doesn't split back or cut out, seems to fill OK just like all other cars I've filled over the last 25+ years.

However, more often than not, Diesel leaks down the inside of the wheel arch and leaves a patch on the forecourt floor under the car for the next customer to slip and break their neck on. Not to mention that it's far too expensive to pee all over the floor.

Is it me doing it wrong?, is it a 'feature' of the new system?, or is there something wrong that can be fixed?

1.6 Tdci Sooty Deposits Around Turbo?

01 June 2012 - 06:39 AM

Recently noticed what looks like sooty deposits around the pipes and castings around the turbo at the front of the engine. Because of the heat shield it’s difficult to see properly and tell whether its normal road/oil/engine grime but looks like sooty carbon. Will try and get some photos up.

Car seems to be running fine, although the other day whilst sat in traffic it bonged and flashed up engine malfunction/service now for about 5 seconds?
Has anyone else noticed this on their car around the turbo?
