Dear Sir,
I write in response to the article on Tesco fuel causing a breakdown. Myself and my husband recently moved to Aycliffe and have always used Tesco due to having a FuelCard. Since moving both of our cars have been struck down with engine problems both relating to the fuel filters.
I have just had mine fixed after I had engine malfunction lights and message came on, to a cost of around £160.
My husband’s van had repairs to it also to a cost of around £150 but still needs an anti pollution filter replacing which is going to cost over £300 which at the moment we cannot afford.
As a result he has had to cease self employment. We never had any problems with our car previous to moving and it has been too much of a coincidence that both vehicles have faults since moving to Aycliffe and the only thing we do the same is we buy our diesel at Tesco.
I would be interested to know if this is similar to the gentleman who contacted yourselves and Tesco as perhaps we could all put pressure on Tesco to check their fuel!
