    Howdy chaps,

    As title really - I bought a full new set when I had the stage 1 map done at RSTuning but I seem to already have a dicky one - to be fair I could just be unlucky so far but I was just curious how many people have replaced more than one set?

    If it is just a dicky one then it's only managed 7,000 miles :cool:

    Really is pot luck with them, had a guy send me some back after coughing couple of months after I sent him a cleaned set, checked them and one was blocked badly.
     
  3. Is that possibly due to sludge pick up in the fuel tank if say they were running with low amounts of fuel on board?

    Can't comment on that mate but the lack of a proper fuel filter on the megane's is definately an issue.
     
  5. I dont buy into the concept of sludge being drawn through when empty.

    Surely the sludge is heavier than the fuel , therefore sinks and gets drawn through anyway ?

    Well I'll replace this one and if another goes then it's time for 630's!

    I've not heard of any issues with uprated ones so far?
     
  7. Cant you just put an in line fuel filter on to help?
     
  8. Doesn't it have an inline filter inside the pump? This is at least the setup on the 197s anyway.
