Just logged on to this forum great to see, have had I 30 crd slx for  2 years and love it but would like to hear from any one else who has problems with there fuel filler .Ours clicks of at about 45 litres and then takes 5 mins to fill it up very frustrating. Apart from that we love the car

Welcome Stuart...

Having trouble filling the tank completely seems to be "par for the course" with the CRDi.
If it bothers you, just fill it to the first click.....you'll still go a long way on 45 litres.....

its all to do with the diesel, not the car... (well the car plays a minor part in it too)

diesel "foams" up when you pour it... the higher grade diesel's dont do it as bad, its quite annoying yes. but there is little we can do about it, you could try only filling it at half trigger, the slower fuel may not foam as much!

also try and avoid using Hy fill pumps,the ones used to fast fill trucks.

I reckon the 45 litres you are putting in is filling the tank (you may have up to 8 litres still remaining in the tank) and the remaining 7 odd litres some are getting in is in the relatively long and narrow filler neck (Which I would imagine is the same in both variants..)
