Fuel contamination riddle continues - Your stories - part 5

Our 2001 Fiat Punto is still in Desira (our dealer in Diss) for repair after the engine started to lose power and misfire.

This happened shortly after refuelling the car at Tesco Bury St. Edmunds. The tank was almost empty and it was filled up.

The garage is waiting for parts as it has used all the oxygen sensors it had in stock on other vehicles with the same fault.

My wife filled up at Tesco Stevenage on Saturday, and within 10 miles the engine management light came on. On Monday morning the fault was diagnosed as the oxygen sensor.

I travel more than 600 miles a week and fill up at a mixture of stations between the South coast (Southampton) and London. These are predominantly Shell or Tesco garages. Two weeks ago I spent a few days in Cardiff and upon leaving the city, my Peugeot 206 lost power and began to judder.

I was told at the time one of my cylinders was misfiring. I had to make my own way back to Chichester while leaving my car to be repaired. A few days later I caught the train back to Cardiff, collected the car and managed a further 200 miles before the problem recurred.

I had the ignition coil replaced at a local garage and sent the other back to Cardiff. At the time I put it down to poor repairs, but now suspect the problem may have been wrongly diagnosed and actually down to poor fuel, as all the symptoms are the same.

I know that another Peugeot and a Ford Focus were at the garage in Cardiff with similar problems. So far the repairs have cost me £500, not to mention a lot of time.
