Hello all,
I've had one crazy day today.
So basically my dad took my car out today went to the petrol station and filled up 5 pounds of 'diesel'. ( I had 200 miles of v power nitro diesel already in here)
He went to luton and back to London. When he was on the m1 back towards london he noticed the car smoke quite abit, and the car started to shake also.
When he got back he told me he must have put the wrong fuel in ( I don't know how anyone could put petrol in a diesel) and was very sorry. Like all of us on audi sport I love my car lol
So I switched the ignition on and took like 10 seconds to start, went straight to the petrol station nearest to me which is a 2 min drive and filled up the rest of my tank with v power diesel.
During my drive to the petrol station the black smoke emitting from my exhaust was so bad that I couldn't see the cars behind me!!! The car was going bonkers I thought I wouldn't make it!
My car is under warranty and I have a remap on my car so I did not want the hassle of going into audi especially when this would be considered 'my fault'.
Now that I have the correct fuel the full tank is showing at 620 miles (odd) I only ever get between 400-500 on a full tank normally. Car is also driving fine again but I'm worried about the damage the petrol might have caused?
Also bear in mind that only 5 pounds worth of petrol caused all this!!!
I'm going to a local garage tommorow to let my mechanic know wat happened and see what happens from there.. the emissions light has come on too
Anyone with any knowledge on this please advise the best thing to do in this situation as I am very worried I've caused a lot of damage to my engine
