#1: fuel Author: Capriman, Location: North EastPosted: Fri Dec 09, 2011 1:40 pm ---- I have a 206 GTI 180, When i try and fill it with fuel the pump keeps clicking off after every £5 or |£6. Any idea what maybe causing this?

It doesn't make any differance wether i have it pushed right in or just in!!! It does just the same, the last 180 never did this

I've found with mine, if I hold the nozzle at 5 o clock, it doesn't click off till it's full. I'm buggered if I need fuel at lunchtime though.

#12: Re: fuel Author: stevesey, Location: BristolPosted: Fri Dec 09, 2011 5:02 pm ---- Similar to macca's suggestion, rotate the nozzle 180 degrees. I've been doing it for years now - had a merc where with the nozzle in the natural position it would cut out as soon as you squeezed the trigger all the way.
Still cuts out at the top, but no annoying cut outs mid fill.
