Not even sure it has a fuel filter. Seen mention of filters in the top of the injectors. 
Ive ran it three or four times for five to ten minutes with no improvement.

Edit. apparently no filter that can be changed. Built into the pump in the tank.

General Car Chat / C1 (The skate) serious misfire.

« on: 12 March 2024, 13:21:18 »

I have had about half a gallon of petrol in a can in the boot of the C1 for about 6 months.
Sunday morning before leaving work I decided to tip it in the tank. There was aready approx. a couple of gallons already in the tank.
When I left work I didnt get more than a mile or so before it started misfiring and kangarooing. Nearly didnt make it home as it cut it a couple of times and was very reluctant to restart.
Not being a great believer in coincidence I assumed the half gallon must have gone off, so filled a couple of gallon cans with fresh petrol and put that in hoping it might then sort itself out.
It hasnt had any effect at all. Still very hard to start and runs as rough as a Badgers arse.
Have plugged my code reader in and got misfire cylinder three (it only has three).
Just because its a five minute job I swapped the stick coils between 1 and 3 but the code stayed at number three.
Only thing I can think of is a problem with number three injector ?
Any more intelligent thoughts more than welcome.

Synthetic fuel could render EV,s obsolete in no time, but the powers that be have put all their eggs in the EV basket.

Heater matrix is also a possibility. I currently have similar symptoms due to a small leak at the matrix.
Which reminds me, I really must get off my arse and replace i soon.
Only use it occasionally, so havent been desperate to do the job.

I would have thought you would have smelt it if it was heater matrix?

So would I , but I didnt. Its only a small leak though.

Assuming it has a gearbox oil cooler - you could take one of the pipes off it, and put a bucket under the end to collect fluid. Then start the engine, cycle through gear positions, while putting new fluid in the box at the same time..
When you have the correct amount of fluid in the bucket, and the fluid coming from the pipe is new, keep filling to the correct level, then job done.
Havent done it myself, but can remember it being recommended on a Mercedes forum a few years ago.
Miay be easier with two people.

If it wasnt so far away I could be tempted to have it as a project.
Im also getting a bit old for changing boxes. 
Also skint. 

Clean the filter and change the ATF.

Currently, 50% of social housing in London is occupied by people who werent born in the UK, and that is only going to increase.
I spent most of yesterday in and around East London, and couldnt wait to get out of the place.
Its more of a shitehouse every time I go there.
