I have put 40 litres of petrol in 2.5tdi VW Tourage engine.

I have put 40 litres of petrol in 2.5tdi engine Vw Tourag year 2005. Tank was nearly empty - 90 miles of driving left. Haven't driven it. But have towed it home (short distance less than mile). Put the key into ignition for towing - to turn on lights as it was night time, did not start engine or turn her over, by doing this and from reading your site does this start fuel pump?. What will i do?

Yes the pump will start but it wont hurt it,,,and you only need side lights to tow a car,,,unless your in it then you need brake lights as well, but you wont hurt the fule pump ok,

Will a 2 litre vw Golf 2011 diesel fit a 1.6 diesel 2011 Golf

I wouldn't suggest it. It wouldn't be just an engine swap that you unplug and unbolt and and then reverse...thats not to say it can't be done with a lot of thinking and work and reprogramming that's usually for vw experts...your better off to keep looking at other wreckers for the exact motor

Are all petrol tanks the same size or does it go on the size of ur engine .

Assuming you are asking are all Petrol tanks same size on VW Golfs... if thats the question then the answer is YES..The engine size does not affect the Petrol tank size only consumption (kilometers per litre/ or miles per gallon depending your location...assumed since you called it Petrol you are European) The different YEAR models would have different capacities and or shapes depending on configuration of the vehicle.. but the Golfs didnt go under much design change from 99-2002 so you should be safe if looking for a replacement.

Vw golf 1996 cabrio 2.L ran out of petrol, i put 10 litres in and now it wont start

there most likely isn't enough fuel for the pump to pick up. Once a fuel tank runs dry it takes more fuel than usual to get the pump to send the fuel to the engine. Try a little more fuel, and if that doesn't work, let me know :D

Hi i have a vw polo 2003 1.2, basically before i

that's...thirty liters or so?...10.4 liters per hundred. I'm getting 30 UK MPG...that sounds rather low for a 1.2 . it should be getting 35-40, I believe. better get yourself a tuneup if you can afford it.

Fuel Filter

Hi . The fuel filters are fitted (For life if petrol) and every 40,000 miles for diesels . But if needed the petrol ones are under the right hand side rear near the fuel tank and have quick release couplings on them . and the Diesels are in the engine bay either side depending on engine type and confuration .
