No Stu, it's fine on that front, Stu.
I've got new air temp and coolant temp sensors fitted, but I spotted a weird temp sensor reading in vag-com last night. Dipping randomly to serious negative temps as I blipped the throttle. I've no idea which sensor it relates to. I'm going to have to try disconnecting sensors in turn to see what's what.....
Mine does take a while to warm up, longer than the 16v did, however still returning 40mpg with a little bit of right foot

Tbh it must be something about these cars. My little 1.4 takes a while to warm up, especially at this time of year.

My fuel consumption has mysteriously increased. I'm only getting about 27mpg at a steady 80 on the motorway and average consuption is around 27 too. Over 80 and it drops rapidly.
Nothing showing on vag-com.
I've checked the breather hose thoroughly, no splits.
Plugs look fine.
It starts fine and there are no other obvious signs of a problem. However, when first started cold (outside temp 10 degrees) the idle isn't much above 1000 rpm - I'd expect it to be higher.
I fitted a new air temp sensor to the airbox a while ago as it didn't have one (and a fault code went).
I'm going to look at the throttle body next and change the Coolant Temperature Sensor. (I don't think it's the throttle body)
Any other suggestions please?
did you get this fixed m8 as im haveing the same problem getting low mpg and low on power to my car is 2.0 8v cordoba 1996 GT cheers
