    Fuel Sound

    Hey Guys

    Just picked up a 2008 caddy panel van. Great little car. Just a quick query, when the fuel tank is full of diesel, is it normal to hear the petrol swooshing around at low start-stop speeds?

    Regards

    i think it is. the cargo area is not sound proof and the tank is right under the floor panel. so you'll hear the fuel swooshing around when the car is in motion or just stopped.

    I was going to mention the diesel/petrol thing but held back.

    Just make sure you remember that it is DIESEL that you put in the tank

    Volkswagen will charge you about A$ 350.00 should you make the mistake of putting petrol in your Diesel Caddy.
    It will not run properly.
    I know, I tried it.
    Ooops
