Ill try and find it again as it was on my friends laptop, i really appreciate your help, wish you were closer to me!!
something i noticed today was that what sounds like the intake pump sounds like wiper motor....IE a whine that sounds high and then low..the car was on 0 miles before i fulled it and the car started funny straight away whilst still in the station, the low pressure sensor will be here tomoz and im praying that may be the cause as its reading -700 or summit like that  :signLOL:

I once heard a story of fuel contaminated with diesel causing no end of problems on an m3...

Funny it happened straight after filling up... fuel filter blocked?

My in-tank pump wines a little, this may be why mine is stuttering under load  :surprised:

Well fuel filter could be but it doesnt show why the low pressure sensor is reading -700, its a right pita,
I said its too much of a coinsidance that once i filled up this happend so i think it could be the filter personaly or the pump in the tank, but the noise from the in tank pump could be that im looking for things to find wrong and hear things...

Now wheres the scrap man when you need him  :fighting:

Got the new sensor here so will fit that later.....i did notice last night the whine from the pump at the rear is loud outside the car, i put my hand on the fuel filter and it does seem to vibrate at a unsteady pace...IE you can actually feel it whining up and down (noise is going up and down) ill fit the sensor and then possibly may need a new in tank lift pump...Revo told me the RS3 ones fit :evilgrin: any know roughly how much they might cost?
