I'm looking for some advice please.
My car, 2003 1.8T Cabriolet, was leaking fuel from somewhere and so I took it to my local independent Audi and BMW specialist whom I have used for several years and always been pleased with the results
The leak was diagnosed as a faulty fuel solenoid that had flooded a "carbon canister" and then leaked out.
The car was repaired and left out for me so I could collect it out of hours.
The car seems to run fine but the radio has not lost all reception, only getting a very faint signal infrequently. The other issue is the fuel economy. I normally get between 38 and 40mpg but on the run home, the trip computer only showed 31 mpg.
Could the lack of radio reception or economy have been caused by work done to access or replace the fuel solenoid and cardon canister ?
I haven't been able to talk to the garage yet as they don't reopen till Monday.
All thoughts appreciated
Thanks
David
