Hi newbie here, been following this thread for a bit now and started filling my car up with the 99 ron SU at Mace Clandeboye.
Around the time of the first fill up I noticed I was having to put my foot down a bit going up steep hills. Never thought much of it but it got worse and worse to the point where it was dead when you put your foot down. Took it to the garage and no fault codes came up, I thought it was a coil pack, cam follower or something like that but turns out it was bad petrol.
Needed a new fuel filter(which was absolutely filthy) and spark plugs that were burnt out. Don't even know yet if that's all the damage that was done the car definitely still has some throttle lag it didn't have before all this. All I can do is keep running it hoping it cleans out. Is there anything else I should get checked?
I wouldn't touch Solo SU with a barge pole now. Here's the filter and the "petrol", if you can call it that, that came out. Looks more like shuck water.
Edit: I should add all I'd been using before that was Texaco supreme unleaded from Comber or Sainsbury's at Bangor with no bother at all. I filled up with solo SU 3 or 4 times with nothing else in between so I was using that only.

Its something that they def need to check more regularly - with all their customers across the country and 4-5 people on here who have shown evidence of poor fuel - quite high odds.
FYI - no response from my emails
Update on my car: performing now very well with me increasing pressure on my right foot daily as confidence grows however had a hesitation this morning going from S5 gear and then me knocking it into M4 (manual due to not happy with DSG choice of gear) caused a slight jerk so I backed off. Booked in next month to get plugs changed and fuel filter done again.
