The lady I sold my '10 JSW TDI to called me today and asked what would happen if gas, and not diesel, were put in the car. I immediately told her to NOT start it. She already had. She said it seemed to be running rougher after her 17 yr old daughter drove it, and fueled it. Her daughter swore she put in diesel. I told her if she filled it with gas, she would know it. I didn't scare her with the hard truth, just said it wouldn't run at all. She didn't have a receipt, so checked her bank account for info and noticed her debit card account had two charges from the gas station. One for $2 something and another for the $30 something a few minutes apart. She suspects her daughter began filling it with gas, noticed, then finished with diesel. Again, daughter denies it and says she didn't buy anything else with the debit card.
What would the symptoms of ~.75 gal of RUG be? Assuming a worse case scenario, it was filled with ~.75 gal of RUG, what advice should I give her? It is possible her daughter is telling the truth and there's an explanation for two charges. What I told her under NO circumstance to repeat her suspicions to the dealer. I think she is being paranoid, but I am trying to help.
