:00000732: Hello to all,

This is my tale of woe.

Doing my bit for the world climate, or was it a saving of 25p per litre, I went for the bio-fuelling option and filled-up 100 miles ago with Walkers finest 'chip' fat. The smell is pleasant and to be honest I do believe the power is up a little as well as the green bit.

All was well untill Sundays trip out when the car started missing and losing power. Sunday! Got to the point of nearly calling the rescue services whilst being overtaken by a bicycle going up hill. Belching smoke out and hoping we could get back to the level where we could get to 50mph. Fuel consumption went as low as 28mpg and the engine light came on.

It has to be the filter blocked I thought. I've had the car 2 months, don't know the fuel filter history, it has to be the filter! The bio-diesel has cleaned up the system - it has to be the filter!!

All the shops in the world open on a Sunday in Shropshire!!!!!! I don't think so. Fortunately I did find a filter, limped home and when I changed it, all was well again. :beer:

If you change to Bio-diesel change your filter soon after or carry a spare!

That's my tale, just two questions

1. Why did the light come on?
2. How do I get rid of it?

good on ya for going green. bio-diesal is such a clean alternative and can be so readily available, at least it is where i live in northern california.

lets hope your a trend setter in this forum.... wish i had a tdi!

I have cleared my engine MFI light now. Just bought an ELM323 OBDII usb kit from www.talktomycar.co.uk which arrived the next day 17hrs total delivery time to the door and only £25. Worked a treat on my old p400 laptop - jobs a good 'n.

I still need to find a way of re-setting my service indicator with this thing, I'll be back :beer:
