    Fuel - Last 7L takes ages to get in

I allways use Shell V Power from different pumps at the same garage - cheers John Anyway car is in at...

    Fuel - Last 7L takes ages to get in

    Hi all. Hope you can help me with this to let me know if I'm on my own with it, or its common. Fuel light comes on, so I fill up and the first 50 litres goes in fine. It then takes about 10 minutes to completely fill the tank. Trickling the fuel in and nozzle keeps cutting off. Rather annoying...

    Car in dealer for brakes and front sub frame alignment

    New front brake pads fitted that are of a softer compound - so I'm told. They also did the alignment FOC, and two recalls - 80T9 and 39E1, not sure which is which but one is fuel pump and the other is software. Happy so far !

    Elton Given your experence do you think it would be reasonable of me to formally reject my car at the dealer and give them 4 weeks before asking for a refund? This said Audi UK have put me in a V8 Q7 for the last two weeks. Bakes are great but its to big to park lol Cheers David
