Hi All
Any Help Much Appreciated

The Wife Went To Shell In >>>>> Last Wk

When She Got Out Of The Car ,
She Told Pump Attendant She Wanted £50 VPower Diesel ,
She Then Went inside ,
As the Guy Has Filled the Car For her Numerous Times
She Paid for the fuel and left ,
Drove to Butchers Next Door to Petrol Station ,
When Coming Out Of Shop
The Car WONT START :((

Luckily She Paid On Card So had RECEIPT
Turns out Guy Put VPower PETROL into Our V6 TDI !!!!

Shell Call- Out Fuel Removal Company
Who Turn-Up ,
Remove All fuel He Can FROM FILLER NECK ,

He Then Proceeds To Spray EASYSTART into Air-intake
Before Then After Air Filter
Whilst Asking Me TO Crank Over The Car ,

(To PUMP FUEL FROM PASSENGER SIDE TO DRIVERS SIDE He Said !!)
Still Wont Start He flattens battery whilst Trying

He then Proceeds To Remove Back Seat
Uses a Hammer and ScrewDriver to
Remove Fuel Sender Unit From N/S Of Fuel Tank Under Rear Seat and Removes Remaining Petrol From There ,
Then Hammers Sender Back in to place
He Then Attaches Booster Pack To Battery And Proceeds To Spray Lots Of Easy Start Into Air Intake Again , it took an absolute Age for it to finally Start :((

Whilst He Was Saying " They Have Usually Started By Now "

When It Did Start It Was Banging And Coughing, Smoke Billowing From The Twin Exhausts

Went Back To Shell
Who MADE Me Pay For The Replacement Fuel I Had To Put In :((
As Fuel Removal Lad Wanted New Fuel In Before He Would Leave
Got There Insurance Details As I Want My Car Checking Over

Finally i Got a HireCar As My Car IS Stinking Of Fuel !!
its Now Starting Really Rough Knocking And Banging SOUNDING rough

WHAT DAMAGE IS LIKELY HAVE BEEN CAUSED TO MY V6 TDI ?
its currently In With Audi looking at least at

£1100 , repairs inc 6Hrs Labour
fuel pump and fuel filter
Tank Drain And Inspection

But Ive Only Just Realised After Reading a Little On Here

THAT EASY START SHOULD NOT BE USED ON AN ENGINE WITH HEATER PLUGS !!
Which Ive Not Told AUDI ABOUT AS FORGOT ABOUT UNTIL READING ON HERE !
will Do 1st Thing In MORNING

Thanks Cheech
 
Fuel pump, glow plugs, the injectors, easy start will wash all the oil from the bores leaving the top rings prone to excessive wear leading to low compression, smoking and poor starting.
