So have they replaced it with one that doesn't have baffles then or did it never have them? Mine was the same as yours and I kicked off until they put a new one in for me

My old 2.0cdti was baffleless but the VXR does have baffles. Wonder if it's a diesel thing

That's normal but indicates you don't have baffles in your tank. Mine used to be the same as yours and it annoyed me so I spoke with Vauxhall and asked them to installed a tank with baffles and now I never hear fuel sloshing

Are they likely to do that under warranty though?
