maghouse 0 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 What damage could this do ?I foolishly let my VR6 Sharan run out of fuel today, topped it up and started ok but really poor idle & acceleration - just like a faulty coil pack I had before.If I let it run, it seems to clear itself and runs fine but then will idle and run roughly again ...Would any sediment in the tank make it past the filters into the injectors and cause problems ?Put some redex in with a gallon to run it but no real difference ...

oldmandon 1 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 yep you can get bits past the filters, and partially block the injectors....may be that you have an air lock in the system somewhere.....Will need more than a gallon to clear it though. Fill up and put some more redex in, give that a try first.... Link to post Share on other sites
