Evening all,

I've bought a bottle of Wynns injector cleaner as recommended by a mate at work (I also bought the DPF regenerator fluid too), but due to the excellent security on the Mk4 facelift's fuel filler cap, I can't get the fluid in! I can't push the white cap out the way.

The bottles themselves, despite having a long-ish, thin-ish neck, don't push the cap out the way. I've tried pushing it down using a tent peg and a great deal of force but nothing seems to move it.

Can anyone help?

I hope that all makes sense.

Many thanks

You should have special funnel in the boot beside the spare wheel for this purpose.

You may find the funnel either with the jack kit or sometimes in the glovebox.

If you can't locate it go to your local Ford parts counter.

They are only a few quid.

How embarrassing that I didn't know that! :( Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated

For the love of God don't try to bodge it, if you break it it is a pain in the bum to replace

The joys of ''easy fuel '' - not at all easy without the correct diameter funnel - prevents mis-fuelling though

You can get additive in the tank without using the funnel.

What you have to do is forget about getting the flap out of the way and just dribble (sexy!) the additive into the filler and it will find its way past the flap. A bit unsatisfactory, I know, and you really need a long-necked additive dispenser, but you can make it work, with care.

Thanks for everyone's help; I found the funnel under the spare wheel and fluid deposited :)

I can't believe I didn't know that was there!

Thanks for the info I will have a look under my spear wheel
