I am just back from our tour of Cork on the L M C I annual Rally. The car gave trouble including returning around 12miles to the gallon. Also a bad misfire. I think part of the problem is the fuel filter, after is stalled completely I tapped the filter and it ran again. I know nothing about the Bosch electronic fuel injection. Would the filter blockage be responsable for the poor fuel economy ? Thanks . David. 8228
Dave,
Very easily I would have thought, Dedra's with the canister filter sometimes had this problem as it was tucked up behind the O/s rear wheel and a bit inaccessible, and many garages and owners either didn't realise that it was there, or it was just too much hassle to get at to change, so they never did; as Dedra adviser I had quite a few of these turn up as a problem, but once the filter was changed, the problem had gone away.
So the worst scenario is that it costs you a little time and money, on the other hand it might easily solve your problem, but at least it will be one possible cause eliminated if not.
good Luck.
