Filling up

[mad-dot]

Ok, what's the deal with the petrol gushing out? am I missing something? And what's a code 26 A/C fault? Apart from that.......mint fish magic

Have a read of this thread, and this one they may shed some light on it.

[mad-dot]

Thanks for that I'll try it when I next fill up........tonight

A/C fault - mine comes up with this sometimes. No idea what it means.... i normally ignore it.

[Tivster]

Fuel tank capacity = 52 litres -ish + reserve of around 11 litres, hence 63 litre overall capacity. Don't feel confident to try out the reserve though...

Fuel tank gauge/readout doesn't seem to take the reserve into account hence max displayed is 52 litres.

I have the same issues - although my last fuel fill was less hazardous thanks to the advice from here

Same with the A/C error - it still works...

[ricardo]

Same issues here also.
Petrol filling is pretty much trial and error, and depends to some extent on the particular pump.
The A/C Fault 26 warning comes up after about 1/2 hour, irrespective whether the A/C has been on or not. I highlighted the fault at the 1st service, factory response was 'the fault not logged [in the car]/ fault not occurred?', interpreted by the dealer as a spurious/not-actual fault warning. Didn't help, still happens, A/C still appears to work okay.
Anyone any solutions to the A/C warnings?

I get this fault... along with other spurious ones: (oil temp/pressure/fuel sensor.)I've come to the conclusion that the car is bored because you're driving it too slowly. So... I thrash the bu66er for the next 20 minutes. Most of the time after this treatment it doesn't "say" anything to me for a while but if it does pop up another message I take it as meaning "thankyou for that, you are a brilliant driver"

Hope this helps. Going to take my tablets now.

"They all do that, Sir"

[mad-dot]

Thanks for the replies ....one more, am I meant to have 35 profiles front, and 40's rear?

[Mrs Fish]

They certainly do. I often wonder if some of the electronics are sourced from some back-street supplier in Uzbekistan...

At least you got one with yours !

[jigs]

Bad for your health and highly dangerous with all that petrol gushing about the place.

Yes there's just a hole next to the lighter where I assume it should be located.
Thanks anyway.
