For those who have read a few of posts you may recall that due to getting iffy about the Multitronic gearbox on the 2.5TDI model i owned, i recently changed to a 1.9 tdi 130.
In doing so i was looking forward to the much better economy figures acording to book figures, however I am a little dissapointed in the difference. Around town i seem to be getting in the 30-40mpg range according to the DIS and have only scraped into 50mpg once on the motorway and that was driving like a saint at 65-70 and going down hills with no power on.
I had a B5 1.9 110TDI a year or so ago and that was leaps ahead, over 40mpg everywhere and 54 on motorway easily and that was with a blow in the front of the exhaust.
What sort of mpg figures are 1.9 130 owners getting please and if it is more than what i have stated above what reasons could there be that my economy is so poor.
cheers folks
