Unleaded fuel in a PD TDI engine

ARB · 2006-03-23T11:07:29+00:00

I have mistakenly filled my new Skoda, 1.9 PD TDI engine, with unleaded, it was nearly at empty and I filled it up to full with unleaded fuel.I drove away from the petrol station, travel less than half a mile and it conked out at the lights. I tried to start it and then realised what I had done.The AA towed me to a garage and had the fuel drained and the car seems to be OK. Although I think that the engine is sounding quite noisy now and that my fuel economy has dropped - I might just be being paranoid since this has happened. Does anyone know if this will cause any damage that will manifest itself at a later date.The other thing is that since the car is still under warranty, the manufacturer obviously doesn't know about this but were I to have any problems later relating to any of the parts that this type of thing could have damaged, would there be any way that they would be able to tell that this has happened, would there be any visible signs eg to the fuel pump etc?What parts of the engine could something like this actually damage?Many thanks in advance for any advice and assistance.RegardsAlan
