My 2008 - S3 - 8P
Hi All,
I seem to be having an issue with the MPG and hoped you guys could give some advice.
I have recently had some work done as some of you know and have had my car scanned and data logged to reset the map. The scans and data logging showed no faults at all and the tech guy said that the car is in good shape and he found no physical problems either. I know I need a new dipstick which may account for part of this issue but surely not to this extent.
I cleaned the MAF sensor and it did seem to sort the MPG issue out temporarily. However since I have had the car (3 years) the average MPG driving here and there with the occasional heavy foot was always steady at around 27mpg and up to 34/36mpg on long runs. Just recently I don't seem to be able to keep it above 20mpg.
Given my driving style has not changed and the car has no faults showing can anyone give me an idea as to what may be causing this issue?
I have had a look through some other posts but not sure any of the problems mentioned would be relevant due to no faults showing in VAG software.
As always any help is well appreciated.
