Do you use E10 petrol? There are reports if it breaking down over time and clogging fuel pumps and filters. It is also hygroscopic so could have taken in a lot of moisture. 2012 tdv8 Westminster arrived Jan 19 gone Dec 23

I always use Shell V-Power Nitro+ unleaded fuel which should not contain ethanol. |

Took the car to the dealers today. Hardly got there , but at the dealers yard the idle was smooth. The dealer suggested a thorough check if the problem should return, which it did on my way home. Problem persisted on may return to the dealer , in addition the engine fault light came on. The dealer now realised how serious the problem is and took the car in for check. |

Update ! Apparently the fault is caused by camshaft Adjuster Solenoid/Oil Control Valve failure. The dealer had the same fault in an identical car two weeks ago. Waiting for spare parts, temporarily fixed. |

I had the uneven idle in 2020 and a software update fixed that. They said that, while charging, it is normal that the idle is different from the non-charging idle...
