Warranty question....

Hi,
I have a Scudo JTD and may have misfuelled it - unleaded into diesel.
Will this invalidate my warranty?
I am positive that it was re-fuelled correctly but the mechanic has said it has all of the symptoms.....

Yep on associated items.

What items would these be - the most expensive I presume??

fuel lines,HP pump,injectors etc....but only for a limited period. Did you actually tart the car?

Van was serviced - 72,000.
New cambelt.
New water pump.
Drove to work next morning - van spluttered briefly then lost a bit of power. Pulled over, started again and drove to work (30 miles).
Then put about £30 of fuel in.
Drove home and did about 10 more miles.
Next day drove 30 miles to work again.
Left job and within a mile the van started shuddering and sounding rough.
Got towed by the AA.
Garage checked cambelt and pump - said it was ok.
They then mentioned misfuelling (the £30).
As I use a fuel card, I will not know until tomorrow if I did drop a ricket (Texaco will have a record on the system).
Mechanic has since said he cannot smell UL petrol and when he got some fuel out could not ignite it.....
I am confused.
Until the service, the van was a great motor and never failed me..........

Fingers crossed Texaco confirm you fed it diesel, could it be that there's water in the fuel ?

Might be worth lobbing a new fuel filter in it, and that may confirm if diesel or UL has been put in.


Trev

all you have to do is take a fuel sample & put it in polystyrene cup, if it eats away at bottom of cup its petrol if not its diesel....bit safer this way aswell!

lol,your method sounds less fun

Still no forum members coming up with a diagnosis after my last post?
The water theory has been mentioned 2 or 3 times. Could water have got into the fuel - I did have a new water pump fitted?
Would love to get some fuel out to try the theory, but it is at the garage.....
If I had dropped a bollock (misfuel) and warranty is void....anyone willing to take a guess at the repair cost...?

without seeing it, testing it it would be next to impossible to guess fault/damage done or cost, sorry.

Drain tank,stick new fuel filter on & you might be alright

How old is the vehicle ?

2 years and 1 month

3rd warranty on vans only really covers powertrain

Powertrain??
I have been told by Fiat that engine and gearbox is covered??!?

60k limit or is it 100k for vans?
