Hesitation 1.6 petrol

Post by Andyyav » Fri Oct 06, 2023 3:49 pm

just got myself a 2008 1.6 petrol bought it knowing it had hesitation issue when cold, the chap selling it said running on premium fuel lessens the issue, it goes away once its warm, anyone else had any experience of this? im planning a full service but cant find where the fuel filter is? is it in the tank?
Thanks in advance

long story short hesitation etc returned, turns out the exhaust has a leak near the lamba sensor causing it to read too much o2, hope once its fixed its sorted......
