Unless everything is perfectly air tight I think you might still get some kind of lumpiness.

#23: Re: 1.4 hdi misfire/engine shake Author: Seabook, Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 2:50 pm ---- might i ask what fuel do you normally put it and do you added any fuel additive at all?
#24: Re: 1.4 hdi misfire/engine shake Author: tim30485, Location: LeicesterPosted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 2:57 pm ---- in general the standard fuel saver stuff at shell and redex when i feel its been running rich
#25: Re: 1.4 hdi misfire/engine shake Author: Seabook, Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 2:59 pm ---- sounds odd that the injector is giving up that early.
#26: Re: 1.4 hdi misfire/engine shake Author: tim30485, Location: LeicesterPosted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 3:05 pm ---- i think it had injector issues when i bought the car just didnt notice it until the fuel consumption started getting as bad as a petrol! this being my first diesel to i didnt know how the engine was supposed to sound so i assumed it was ok, till i realised the engine was shaking to death and misfiring like crazy, wondered why the stupid woman (previous owner) was in such a rush to take her daughter to the park!
