1.9 tdi poor fuel economy

[Dwood]

Hi, seen this on a few different threads now but any idea why I would be getting poor fuel economy? Filling up I'm getting 430 miles to full tank instead of the 600 ish I use to get. also poor mpg round town and on runs only getting 38 mpg, heard all sorts of things from check brakes aren't sticking slightly etc, any ideas?
thanks

have you noticed any irregularities with your temp gauge? coolant temp sensor and thermostat going bad can affect mpg, also when was it last serviced? have you had it plugged in to vagcom to check for codes?

How's your power delivery? Anything apart from mpg that you have noticed is wrong

Haven't noticed anything and last month I had water pump changed , belts done and head sorted out as it was cracked but since had all that done it runs smooth as .. But mpg has significantly dropped :s don't know if this could of affected it but going to get it booked in for vagcom see if it throws up any codes.

everything seems fine although could be a little lag, as if turbo taking time to kick in, I can't really tell or remember what it was first like.

wonder if the timing could be out a bit from when they did the belt

get them to check the torsion value when they do the scan it should be as close to 0 as possible

this can affect fuel economy if its not set right

also whats your location? there could be someone in your area who can help

Bit far from me otherwise I would have said to pop over

also get them to check the MAF readings too
