i dont think its fuel leak, it is like the exhaust fumes just smell well petrolly, which makes me think the air/fuel mixture isnt right..

sounds like petrol leaks to me. I just put petrol in my car last weekend and it seems to be using a little more fuel. Cant decide whether its cos i have added yet another cold air feed to my BFO or cos or the drop in temperatures in the weather

id have a look for petrol leaks then!! if its overfuelling you wouldnt smell it

right, it just seems to smell a lot of petrol and i think i used like 5 litres of fuel going about 10 miles

i have done the same and had no problems with it. Apart from i taped the end of the tube up but air was being sucked in so my car juddered when cold. Just make sure it is sealed up

your 1.2 is not overfuelling

yeah you can reset the ECU if you want

what year is your car?

yea, thats what ive done, but i think its now overfuelling, is it a good idea to reset the ecu about now?

its fine, just stick the screw in the end of it, then put it out of the road, i put mine in the scuttle tray

the car will run fine without it

yup, 1.2 8v, and it fastens on to that round airflow thing with the arm on it that controls the flap for hot and cold air

what engine have you got?

are you talking about the red wire that hooks up to the base of the air box?

at the moment i have taken the red tube out of the airflow meter bit and put a screw in the end of it. is this ok or do i have to have the airflow meter on too and just have it connected to the end of the tube?
