awful mpg-now with logs pg4 & 5

[adon30]

Think I'm going to get mine done. I was going along downhill on the dual carriageway and noticed the needle go to 85 and then around the corner at the end down to 75. The same thing happened when I parked on my uphill driveway.

For the few quid that a thermostat is it seems worth doing. Did you loose much coolant? I've heard G12?? mentioned. Where do you get it from?

 

[LEE69]

Yeah g12.
Halfords do there own version.

This one?

They do a two litres as well.

 

[LEE69]

Yeah migh have changed the bottle mine was blue, but it does say for Seat.

 

[jimbob99]

i changed mi ne today.............and broke the dipstick tube lol

 

[adon30]

Did mine today and found this handy link to help. I didn't remove the dipstick tube which made it a bit more awkward especially when putting the hose clip back on (grrrrrr ;( ). However at least I didn't break the dipstick.

Hopefully everything runs better.

UPDATE:
Seems to be OK. Taking a while for the temperature to come up, but maybe thats because it's so cold and I'm watching it. It never dropped down though and held 90 all the way home. No great improvements in fuel economy (although managed 35mpg with a steady run) but at least it won't get any worse. The cold air is probably helping the engine run better though.

You can remove the dipstick? lol

Mine was ok until I had a faut code come up for intermittant temp sensor fault.
Found the bloody plug to attach to the sensor isnt clipping into place so it keeps working loose. Anyone any suggestions to get it to stay on? Tried bending the tab back and didnt do nothing,thinking of plastic welding the plug to the sensor, just a couple of tabs around it to hold it.

Im really starting to hate this car, too many common problems to sort what with coilpacks, thermostats, clutch pedals, fans etc

 

[jimbob99]

ok FYI
changed my t'stat a couple of days ago and have gone from 18-19mpg to 24-25mpg on the same runs
happy days, coolant temp sensor next. just to be sure

 

[mt audio]

OK,since changing this sensor i now receive a fault of:

01039 - Coolant Temperature Sensor (G2)
30-10 - Open or Short to Plus - Intermittent

This has only come on since changing it which means this one is faulty. I also now have stupidly awful starting issues which are related i believe based on this: http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/01039

So need another one now

 

[LEE69]

Never rains eh.....

 

[mt audio]

Refitted my original and is working like a charm
Great MPG and starts up fine

Will be sending the "replacement" back for a refund

 

[LEE69]

Got to love easy fix's.

OK sensor has been working fine but im still seeing shite mpg
I did 2 runs today on VAGCOM and got the following.

Now to me on the first actual v requested clearly isnt right in low revs and also neither of my lambda's change % at all and im pretty sure the 2nd shouldnt be reading -3.9% constantly. What does everyone else who's more experienced with VAGCOM think?

Sorry for the crap display of my log, didnt realise it would just list it like that rather than a table

cheers buddy
does the lambda look ok or is that duffed?boost request seems ok to me but the actual at 2.5k seems a bit low IMO but im not vag geek

 

[LEE69]

I can't read the logs mate, DPJ Damian amongst others can.

 

[kassim]

have you recently done any mods ? e.g . changed your wheels ??? it could also be the MAF sensor

 

[mt audio]

Nothing has changed on the car, was was reading healthy figures last time i checked and that was whilst all my issues were going on

There is defo something not right, friend has an S3 with the 1.8t engine and we both put our foot down on the dual carriageway and he breezed passed me before i had chance to move out, mine mapped his isnt!

 

[kassim]

damn mate the best thing i could say is get it cheked out do some sort of diagnostics on there and it will tell you .

does your car pull well or has it become a bit slugish ?

 

[mt audio]

Takes so long to build boost and it's just disappointing knowing it's so poor to do so
