Tell me....do they have a Tech note for.....

1) Wife fills diesel with petrol
2) Puts key in ignition and turns on
3) Turns key further to start engine
4) Drives car a few k's to shops
5) Rings husband and asked why car won't start?
6) Husband asked wife if she put petrol in car instead of diesel
7) Wife says no, then check receipt which says "Unleaded"
Husband throws mobile phone across room and tells her to sort it out herself

It's now being towed to dealer for "assessment"

Rule 1 - Never ask your wife to fill your car, regardless of how many times you tell her it's a fu*@in' diesel and make sure you don't put petrol in it  RRS TDV6 Bluetooth, VR, Roof

Thanks Bobby, mine falls in the latter category......I am just waiting on step 14 now  RRS TDV6 Bluetooth, VR, Roof

Actually, does "Vehicle has been driven until it stops" and "Driven until it no longer starts" fit in the same category?  RRS TDV6 Bluetooth, VR, Roof

I would think so because the other category is "run for less than two minutes"!!  Malaysia Boleh!

Around $9-10K is my understanding. Thankfully covered by insurance.

Welcome, mate.
It wasn't Tim who had the misfueling experience.
Anyway, if you know a way to avoid doing it why not share the idea with the forum?  Malaysia Boleh!
