    Why O why do the problems keep coming? At least this isn't VW's issue

    Get a call from my wife about what to do if someone hypothetically put the wrong fuel in a car......



    She stopped at 8L of BP ultimate.... Unleaded.

    At least she had the presence of mind not to just fill with diesel on top.
    Got her towed to local garage and they are sussing out what to do now.

    Car was not started but keys did go in to put in neutral & disengage park brake.

    local mechanic was going to try and drain/pump/siphon all the unleaded and diesel in the tank and then refill i believe.

    apparently its ready to go as they worked on it after hours to get us back on the road. will know more in the morning.

    Fingers crossed for you! Even if the fuel pump primed, it draws fuel from the bottom of the tank, and so hopefully no unleaded left the tank and was drawn into the fuel lines. A simple extraction of all the fuel from the tank will hopefully do it.

    Very good call of your wife to ask what to do, and to not start the motor. I know people who'd just not think twice...

    Still looking into putting a set of off-road tyres onto a second set of wheels.

    This is what I've got in mind.



    To do it I've just won a set of 16x6.5 alloys on eBay for next to nil.

    Wondering what the max size A/T tyre could legally fit on the Alltrack platform?

    BF Goodrich for example do a 215/65-16

    Standard Passat wheel and tyres are as follows
    215/55-16
    215/55-17
    235/45-18
