Just wondering what experiences people have had of BioDiesel - ie fuel efficiency, performance, engine issues etc. I have a 2001 A4 Tdi 130 and have found a service station which sells Bio for 69p /litre - Im just concerned that I could harm my engine? - Have I any need for concern or is it...

I discovered that it was the EGR SOLENOID which had been replaced under warranty in my car - the fault subsequently appeared to actuallty be with the EGR VALVE, but warranty had expired - I was told I would have to pay (for their mistake in replacing the wrong part!!??)I complained to the dealer...

Discovered my hesitation is back again after a couple of days of rain - so car back at dealers, however car now out of warranty - should I have to pay if they have failed to solve the problem first time around??

Hi RSW, my dealer is Isaac Agnew, Belfast - should I question this with them / suggest EGR when I leave the car in next week? - (I only have 4 weeks warranty left) - By the way, in the case where a fault is misdiagnosed (and therefore continues to give problems outside warranty) -Is the dealer...

I took the car into the dealers and they confirmed that I need a new turbo boost valve, is this the same as the egr valve you're referring to RSW? - Now that you mention water / dirt, I have noticed that fault more when it has been raining heavily
