Hope it works out!

I will forget about the warranty as well.

Painfully expensive.

Its not much use to you now, but it'll save you future embarasment.

Handle - Different colour
Price - Different on the screen
Name above the handle - Different also. Usually says "Diesel" ...

Human error happens. Don't take it out on Volvo for charging to fix YOUR mistake.

You got to admit that 800 notes is highway robbery though, thats a nutty price unless there is some sort of gaurantee that the car will be fine afterwards

I'll admit that yes, £800 is way too much. I'd understand if the fuel pump was damaged etc, but thats modern cars for you.

Simple fix as always: Pay attention to what you're putting in the car. I'm sure the OP has probably learnt his VERY painful lesson though!

Why leave the forum because of this? It's not like anyone on the forum advised you badly. Very odd.

£800 seams cheap to replace the fuel system, pipes, rails etc that is recommended to be changed in such contamination cases (just think of the cost of a new diesel pump small change really).... the question is just did it require to be done if the car was never started ... surely there is a better alternative ... even if it is a main dealer .... but it does smack a bit of crooked smile and hand rubbing ..... now what can I do you for sir!

And dealers wonder why people/customers go to indi's ....

Definately a complete rip-off if the car was never started or the ignition wasn`t switched on!
Draining a tank is relatively easy and should only incur a couple of hours labour at most.

1) right, I am not leaving the forum but just taking some days to calm down.
2) Thanks for the nozle colour advice, very useful
3) they are not changing anything. Just purging and cleaning.

The latest petrol engined cars have a tank neck / filler inner diameter that will not accept the larger diesel nozzle too.
