found a small leak in the return fuel line just as it comes of the rail... just cut back the hose a bit and shes sweet... but she wasent leaking that much that it would cause a massive amount of fuel loss...:ranting:

More spannering less questions :) it's either something in the fuel system and that doesn't leave many options or a massive problem with one of the sensors (coolant or air temp) but I doubt they would cause it to use anything like that much fuel

tried to do a fault check... as i was aware is was the top right and bottom left pins that had to be shorted to be in test mode.....

the **** fried the ignition fuse....

anyone know the correct pins??

found another small leak on the fuel line near the pump... fixed... consumption is a bit better... and also a leak on the return line on the fuel rail..
