Hi all.
I have a 1.6 diesel Honda Civic. I keep getting a "Water In Fuel Filter" info pop up on the dashboard.
It sat for quite a while (2 weeks) not getting used much over the cold wet Christmas period with about quarter of a tank of diesel.
I'm wondering if condensation is the cause and has built up in the tank?
The light came on about 3 miles from work, so I carried on. I then got in the car after work and it was gone until again about 5 milee from home it came on.
I have added a bottle of Wynns Dry Fuel and filled the tank witj fresh diesel but it seems to keep coming on near the end of my drives.
I'm loathed to get under the car and start draining fuel filters etc as it' a nightmare to get to, and the sporadic nature of it is telling me it's either a very tiny amount, or the sensor is playing up.
Has anyone had any luck with these dry fuel products at solving an issue like this? Is it more likely a sensor issue do you think?
Seeing as it keeps going off every time the car is left a little while I'm tempted to just run this tank down and try a second bottle of dry fuel with a lot less fuel in the tank.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers!
