Pegeout 307 51 Plate

Had my car serviced recently - including change of air filter / plugs , which i hoped would cure an excessive fuel consumption .
I didn't realise that fuel mixtures / intake / settings , are controlled by a CPU on cars nowadays , so there is nothing that can be adjusted - I was told by the mechanic .

Would a Peugeot Planet diagnostic machine ( from looking at the internet ) be able to point to a reason for excessive fuel consumption .

Thanks TWR

Another member of the family had it , before me .

1. Do i put the REDX in an empty fuel tank first , then fill up or fill up first then put REDX in ?

2. Do i need to actually fill the tank ?

2. For how many miles should i then drive the car ?

I usually put a bottle of this in every month, each of my MOT emissions the car is spot on ( 12 year old beema) just normal mileage & the stuff will do its work, there are a lot of things as said that can effect your fuel but that's been said in previous posts, how did they find the fuel consumption? have you checked for leaks? With respect, you do not get much now for £20. Do not take your car to the likes of K.F.+ Hal fords or the dealer, they will rip you off, look for your local family run garage.

sorry to keep on at this TWR

Can you just clarify my first two questions re the order of putting the stuff in the tank - and also if the tank needs to be full of fuel

[TWR]

Pour the bottle in then fill up your tank, It does say on the bottle ( Add to a full tank) but that's the way I go about it, regards "Going on about it" that's no problem Brazile after all, that's what the section is about.

An example of 'late braking' would be : approaching a line of stopped vehicles at the lights operating the accelerator and leaving it there and braking late instead of looking ahead, easing off the throttle and coming smoothly to a halt with the minimum of braking. Result: a smoother ride for any passengers, reduced wear of brake pads, and less fuel consumption. (Modern engines use NO fuel when the throttle is closed)
