Had an interesting issue today..
While travelling through the Burnley tunnel (worst timing ever!), the RB starts spluttering, loses power then the engine dies for a moment before firing up and sputtering again. Did this twice before returning to normal.
Felt exactly like it was running out for fuel, but the Distance to Empty was showing 30kms left.
Once it settled down the fuel gauge continued to show more than 1/4 tank but the low fuel light was now on and Distance to Empty showed '--'.
I did put fuel in it earlier today (98RON) from a servo I don't normally use, so I though it may have some water in the fuel. Pulled the fuel pump assembly out and stripped it, no water? All I could see was some fine metal flakes sitting in the bottom of the swirl pot, so this suggests the pump may be on the way out. Tested the resistance on the level sensor and it seems fine. (still need to test the sub-sensor)
I think I'll replace the pump and filter just to be sure but, I don't think this will solve the low fuel light issue.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Car is a MY07 30RB 6sp wagon.
MIL did not come on.
