MK5 Golf GT
Back on here after a while as i have got rid of the A3 i originally had!
My Golf GT TDI is really poop on fuel (or is it just me) but on half a tank of fuel (£30) i dont even seen 200 miles and this is me trying to be really careful. Somtimes when the engine is cold and im driving the trip says around 49mpg local driving, but on most occasions it struggles to get over 35mpg around town. 2 weeks ago driving to Birmingham from Bradford around 120 miles there and 120 back used half a tank, and the other half only got me a further 150miles around town(cost me 77£ to fill her up)! Its a 2004 BKD engine code 140 remapped to around 180 by Awesome GTI.
Last night i filled up £25 because the fuel light came on, i've done around 35 miles around town today and it seems to have used alsmot half what i had in from the £25! The MPG seems to be higher when the engine is cold, i can reach up to 40-50MPG sometimes, once its warmed up it drops to around 30MPG, today it struggled to get above 28MPG! I'm so confused!
The car has recently had a full service and engine flush by Awesome GTI and has a K&N air filter fitted! Also EGR has been cleaned!
Is it just mine? or do all the rest get the same sort of figures?
Really considering going back to an A3 now!
