Dear Rover friends,
I really need your help & advices, because at the moment I am a little bit scared to drive the car.
since my car is back from the mechanic (after many months standing on his yard - because of new/rebuild BW35, I noticed:
- every day strong smell of fuel inisde the car during driving - after some minutes.
- during driving with CHOKE IN (after 8 miles) yesterday and today (5 miles) , the car losing power and
the car stopped. It was not possible to start the car.
- the fuel filter was full of petrol, which normally runs back after the engine is switched off.
(I have loosened the hose from the filter, let flow out the gasoline from the filter, connected again, then the
car started again and I could drive. Today the same again. too much petrol inside the fuel filter.)
- the last 90km my car consumed approx. 26 litres. (this is far too much)
Fuel filter = approx. 6 years old, but still looks clean
some ideas?
thank you very much
