John,

exactly as I understand it ... your post an enjoyable read ...

Thanks
Andy

But your car tells you to put 95 to 98 in, not 99. So you have what John said is an 'old' car. Your car can't handle it and popped, so it seems.

Words fail me, you clearly have absolutely no understanding of petrol ..... do some research before you post.

I think you're the last person in this thread that needs to be telling people they don't understand petrol given the current situation

I have however read John's posts that state your car cannot cope with petrol it was not designed for.

When you go up an octane number, you are slowing down the burn speed of the fuel, so if you have an old car that cant actively manage the engine, going up an octane value can make the combustion process slow down, which gives you less power. Thats why on an old points based disy car, to gain a benefit from higher octane fuel you have to alter the distributor timing to advance the ignition more.

The way I understand it, because you car says to put 98 in and you put 99 in, the ECU can't manage it and it now feels underpowered. Wind your neck in too.

You are really showing up how little you understand about fuel.

The car, as an aside, has being using T99 for about a year AND IN ANY EVENT IT MAKES no difference between running 97/98 or 99.

Please explain how running T99 makes an engine ECU not 'manage it' .... I await the bizarre explanation you will provide.

PS

Now I sound rude, so if you pm your number to me I will take the trouble to explain about Fuel, additional cleaning additives and ECUs - hows that ?

According to Shell, the BIG 95 and the small 98, means that the car should be run on 95 where available, but can run on 98.

Andy, have you got different fuel in it yet and has it made a difference (just to put the argument to bed, if you havent, could you please put Vmax or similar in it)

Still running the tank out ...

Greenenergy confirmed no other complaints from location I filled up from ....

(As an aside the trip computer says 30.2mpg ... down from it's normal 39mpg ...I don't know how accurate the trip computer is ...)

I'm going to stop using Tesco 99 now because a random guy on the internet told me to.

I can recommend a good English course to help you read more easily ..

[Andyuk911]

Well it was only just filled up about an hour ago .. only completed a mile .. so after 100 or so I'll know ....

Seems a slightly different problem ... but for the few who like their heads in the sand .. good luck ... and if it happens to you(whichever brand) ... I hope the words 'told you so ..' ring in your ears

Hook,line and sinker.

Seriously it is a boggo standard city car.Renault aren't going to spend vast sums of cash giving it moar boost for when you've filled it up with 99 and have just spotted a shoe sale in NEXT.

Really, shows how naive you are regarding motor manufacturers and fuel. Try do bit of reading to educate yourself.

Without wishing to become a bore (because I asked yesterday), how is the car now with new fuel in?

It's only done a few miles on the new tank, but so far the tickover has returned to normal and not fluctuating up and down .... need to test a motorway run to confirm no limp mode ...

I ran the tank out and it's fine now ...

I assume you have had it looked at by a dealer ?

Good luck
