Hi,
Has anyone ever had issues with their car having used supermarket fuel?
I have a 3.0 v6 diesel Audi A4 and religiously fill up at Morrisons and over a week ago, my car basically ground to a halt.
It was recovered to audi and they have found a catastrophic failure of the high pressure fuel system, and the entire system is contaminated with metal swarf from the pump. Audi said that this can only be caused by :
fuel does not meet BS EN 590 (too much bio in it for example)
there is water and/or unleaded mixed in
there are other contaminants - general filth and grime.
My partners grandad's IX35's filter was blocked with a waxy substance - the reason was the bad quality of fuel - again he used morrison's. Speaking to others, they have mentioned issues with other supermarkets, not just morrisons (to get the liable issue out of the way).
So yeah fairly annoyed, £10,000 repair bill
Ive emailed their insurance team and awaiting a response.
