mpg

I had my timing/cam (Or whatever it is called!!) belt changed in July as per standard for 55K car and since then my MPG has dropped by about 3 MPG. Now only managing 46-48 MPG for the same driving as I was when I was getting 48-52 MPG. Also I can no longer cruise easily at 30MPH in 4th gear...

Ok bought my car and it said it had been serviced at 46k its now on 53k and the service thingie has started flashing. is this a case of no being reset when it was serviced before selling to me or is it a case of somethings gone wrong and triggered the light . or does it simply need a service...

Evening All, I have a Seat Leon Cupra Mk1. I am 20 Years Old. Yes, My Insurance company has raped me. Few things I'd like some advise on. MPG I do a short trip to work 5 days a week, my engine barley gets within half way of being warmed up. I drive mostly 30-40Mph on the way to...

hiya, i have a 57 plate 1.4 ibiza formula sport (100bhp), just wondereing what the av mpg people are getting on their 1.4's be them the 85bhp of 100bhp editions

What kind of MPG you lot seeing out of your 1.8 20VT's? I see on average, 31MPG ish around town. Sitting at 55-60 on motorway I was getting 46 MPG, and at 70 40-42 MPG. Thought that was pretty damn good for a turbo car and it's not standard.

Hi All, Does anyone know where to get hold of a rubber protector that fixes to the upper edge of the bumper / threshold to the boot? I've seen stainless steel ones on ebay, just wonding if anyone knows of any others out there. Whilst i am at it, does anyone have experiience of the front...

Hey ppl, as most of are aware, my leon does not have an mpg computer as its a early model. So what option are there for me to get a MPG display? so i know what my car does ona daily run. :rolleyes:

All Not sure if this has been discussed here before but should I experience better MPG by using the cruise control on my 2.0 TDI Sport? (or any other car for that matter) Just a thought? Ta Gaz

hi to you all.... Recently purchased myself an 57 reg ibiza tdi... Ideally for better fuel consumption.... however i was told i'd get around 45/50 mpg but im only getting 30/35! why is that??? Was told once it wears in it'll get better... Any suggestions would be great - Thanks - James:)

Yesterday I did just over 70 miles and got an average of 40.1mpg :o that was about 60 miles of motorway and 10 of stopping and starting.....before I did the last 10 miles it was on 40.8!! I was driving at 70/80 all the way back so I'm quite surprised at the MPG I got!! Whats the best you've got?

Am looking at buying a mk1 Leon Cupra over the next couple of weeks. Have plans for the usual mods, ie remap,tip etc. Usually cycle to work most days from May to September as it's only 4 miles each way. My question is as to how these short journeys will effect my Cupras running and...

Well i have to say my little 90bhp TDI Leon is going a storm at the minute. Filled it to the neck last weekend and its not even half empty and its already knocking on the door of 285 miles. I was thinking of changing to a petrol but sod that if i get 600 miles out of a tank i will stay with...

Hi , my mate has a 2.0 FSI Altea Sport and is a bit concerned that he is only getting on average 20 - 25 mpg , on a long run it managed 27 mpg . Is this about right ? Cheers , neil

Last week I drove down to Cornwall for a few days with t'wife and was quite surprised how cheap petrol was in comparison to here. Anyway, I filled up in Falmouth, drove to The Eden Project, then back to Falmouth, then down to St Ives the following morning, then up to Padstow in the afternoon...

My MPG is atrocious, mainly been used on short journeys (5-10miles), however, my fuel light came on at 200 miles after a full tank. Trip computer says im getting 40-60mpg on most journeys however. Any ideas? Car cuts out at the top of 4th gear and goes into limp mode aswell, could be...

Prior to getting my LC mapped it would consitently achieve 30mpg during the warmer months May- Sept and no less than 27 during the colder ones. This equates to about 360miles to a tank during warm months and 320 in the colder ones. Since getting it mapped it has developed two issues. The...

Ok so I just recently fitted my Pipercross Viper kit to my 1.4 MPi. Was wandering how much of a difference it will make to the MPG?? I have noticed it uses a bit more fuel by just watching the fuel needle (I think not sure though...) I think I'm gonna work it out sometime, but just means...

Hey guys, I have a 1.9tdi 53 plate Ibiza. Its the 130 bhp version. On the trip computer it is only reading about 28-30 mpg on avergae. Obviously i should be getting alot more than this! Does anyone know what the problem might be? Cheers Daz :D

Afternoon all, After I had my car re-mapped the average MPG rating went from about 33/34 to the early 20's. When I start her up at first it reads about 18/19 and climbs upto about 22 after 5-10 mins of driving. Is the similar to everyone else, or are they dodgy readings?

Well, I have a '97 GTi Cupra Sport 8v and was playing around with it the other day trying to figure out my average MPG around town. It worked out about 22.1MPG now I know the computer gives you your average MPG but is it possible for it to display your "LIVE" as it were MPG?
