106 diesel filling issue

  1. #1
    Got an issue with my 106.

    Always the fuel gauge has been a bit strange, the needle bobs all over the place and when I go to fill the car it takes ages to fill it to the brim.

    When filling it the pump will click, if I left it like that the car would only have 3/4 of a tank. So I pull the nozzle up and fill it slowly but as the diesel runs up the filler neck it's bubbling up the neck and taking a while to flow into the tank.

    Today I filled the tank and from the first click it clicked on 27 litres, then I went to fill it to virtually the brim and managed to put 38 litres in it but it took me about 5 minutes to do this, sometimes I don't bother because it takes too long but I did today so I could brim it.

    What suggestions do people have? Is it hard to remove the fuel filler neck to clean it out and has anyone had them gunk up before?

    check the breather, other than that there's nothing you can do, other than try a different garage, I have experienced massive variances between stations.
