Tis broked You'll have to just put link up

You've set vid as private so can't see it [emoji19]

Off to hull for a couple if days on Thursday, should give the old girl a run, see if the new fuel is any better

Filled her up with Shell Diesel Nitro+, see if that improves fuel economy, certainly seems to pick up better, more oomph

That list suggests it's probably going to be a dead heat

Ahh, a good point, not thought of that, will need to fill her up at the weekend so might get tank of go juice instead

Might give it a go in that case

Maybe I'll try a tankful and compare it to a standard tank, thanks

I've wondered about using shell super diesel but not sure it's worth the extra money, anyone tried it?

Haha, I can't convince my wife to let me even if I say I'm supporting the club

got my premium membership with my Halfords card and members stickers. First words out of my wife's mouth "you're not sticking them in the car and looking like a chav" :(

Well, wife's car didn't go to dealers, they phoned last night to advise us that they have had another car (a 13 plate forester with 15k on it) in the workshop for 2 days with exactly the same power loss issue and even with support from Subaru UK technical, they still have not resolved the issue. They advised that there is no point us dropping the car in unless they know how to sort it. Booked in next wednesday now, starting to sound like a significant problem. [emoji20]

About 10hrs, he pushed it the last 40miles [emoji4]

We won't use anything other than Shell after an AA guy advised us that he goes to 4 or 5 cars a week with the diesel bug, apparently it's the biodiesel that's required by law in road diesel, it's fine with the additives that the major brands (BP, Shell, Esso etc) put in their fuel, but the supermarket brands don't use these additives and if you get a bit of moisture in the tank you get like a fungus growing that knackers your fuel tank and clogs injectors, fuel lines, filters etc, you end up with a full steam clean or drain and park up for 3 months. Not worth saving 2p per litre Well it goes in for 2 days next week so will have an answer then, will let everyone know the outcome for future reference Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nope, we only, and I mean only, use Shell fuel Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

She does about 20k a year but at the minute it's top speed of 50mph because the M6 has road works on it. She's had 3 CRVs with no issue. I do a similar mileage but my drives are at more varied speeds although I get better mpg as less traffic, generally run around 60-65mph. Sometimes have a little play to give it a blow out, she does that too from time to time. They've done an engine flush and a decoke and an injector clean and they said no indication of any coking up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Too late, we got 2 diesels, but if we didn't have a diesel subaru, we wouldn't have one at all, need the economy for work. Because of work though we'll always have then within warranty. Just annoying at the minute, the dealers being pretty good about it all, as he wants us to have our future cars from there so I think it'll get sorted. It does sound like a known fault though with 2010 engines, found nothing on Internet about XV diesels having this problem though so maybe this is something else? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

She's got an XV now it's the same running gear and engine as the Foz so we're already in the mire. It's under warranty so they'll have to sort it. Just worried its indicative of how mine is going to go soon [emoji17] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I found it, it was a 2010 Foz. This doesn't throw up any warning lights or errors in the computer. According to the car it all works perfectly well, it just doesn't drive perfectly well [emoji17] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If the car didn't start id get it, obviously glow plugs, that's what the glow plugs do, help start the car, but as far as I'm aware, that's all they do. When the car is running the temp in the cylinder doesn't need boosting with a glow plug and certainly doesn't need the fuel to be ignited so im a little confused that they've come back with this, whatever it'll be under warranty, I'm just not sure cleaning off the plugs will resolve the issue.

Update on wife's XV. Subaru technical say that the reason the car pulls ok in low revs up to 1600 then dies is because the plugs have carbon deposits on them? They didn't specify what plugs. Now, call me daft, but as I recall the only plugs you get in a diesel are glow plugs and if I remember correctly they're only used for cold engine starts . Why then would the fact that these are coked up affect how the car drives, it starts quickly at first touch? Getting confused now[emoji21] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Must be nice to drive in a world where there are no other cars to worry about, nob! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not happy, Subaru looked at wife's car, run engine flush, cleaned injectors, updated software, reset the "learning"??. Said there were no error messages, no lights alerts nothing. Got car back still judders in high torque. From about 1300rpm, if you put your foot down it pulls really well until the turbo comes in and then at about 1600 it starts to judder as though about to stall, this gets worse and worse until you change down a gear so that your over 2000rpm then it pulls like a train. No one knows why, subaru technical don't know why either, slightly worried now. I know it's under warranty but my wife needs it to be reliable. Probably have to go back now. Wife tried the new Forester today a demo car, she liked the car but not in white which hers was. If anyone is after a 14 plate top end forester diesel they've got one with 1k on the clock at £25k which is cheap! Oh by the way it's a diesel so it's supposed to run at revs that low, just in case anyone was wondering why I'd accelerate from 1300

Got the dealer newsletter the other day, spoke about the show but no offers [emoji20]. Don't want to push my luck as already had a free service off them. Might still go if its bit too far away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
