amr1th Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Hi there guys im new on here and was hoping to get some great advice of a silly incident which happend to me couple weeks ago and its now frying my brain cells. Any advice would be a life saver. So whats happend is my friend put £20 petrol in the car and when he realised whats he done we move the car to a side. We took most the fuel out the tank of the garage courts and put in £60 diesal and pray for the best. Cars a high milage but before the misfuel car drove strong apart from other issue's. Now we have changed the fuel sender and changed the maf sensor since it came up on the vag! It will crank no start. Once it starts after alot of cranking or easy start it will run smooth no issues!!! But once you drive for 10mins it will die out and take ages to start again? I honestly dont know the issue i forgot to mention we did service the car and change fuel filter still no luck, blew the starter motor cranking it so got a new one put in same issue maybe change the filter again and tank the car and try fuel injector cleaner i duno? I might have missed some details but if anyone can help honestly you would bea actual life safer thank you for reading my pea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 The chances are that petrol has spoilt the seals in the fuel pumps and injectors so they will likely need to be changed. I hope your friend has deep pockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevey Y Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Hate to point out the obvious but if you look at the fault codes you published they are all august last year so bear no relevance to your current problem and I would assume that the problem you have will throw up codes for the high pressure fuel pump being low if the seals were compromised.
