Hi guys/gals
had my 2.0tdi 140 for a month now and very much enjoying it... no it's not an s3,but in comparison to my 100bhp '05 astra it doesn't feel far off!!
so far have got about 500 miles out of a full tank, 300 of which have been crusing at 80 or so on the motorway, but was expecting a bit more... was wondering if i was being unreasonable to expect more?!?!?
now i know the d.i.s is not really to be trusted that much, but was also expecting more than the 42-44mpg on the motorway it was showing.
although i promised myself (or the missus i should say!) i wouldn't touch the car in terms of mods, am contemplating some sort kind of engine mod on my current 140 or trying to find a 170. is there a noticable difference between the 2??
obviously would have to take into consideration the massive increase in insurance cost for a modded car, but was also wondering the difference in fuel consumption in a modded 140 vs a standard 170. i have read a few threads on here that some engine mods have increased fuel economy (if you don't have a heavy foot) so was interested to see if there was much difference between a standard 140, modded 140 and standard 170
