diesel fuel tank mileage??
Posted: Sun Aug 23, 2015 3:23 pm
Hi guys,
I spent 3 nights in Wales, got back home today and covered 330 miles on 1/2 tank of diesel. Is this a good result?
I did change oil, oil filter and air filter before I set off on a mini holiday.
I had to stop my car a few times due to coil light kick in. So I found out it was the MAP sensor (boost sensor), found on the lower intercooler pipe, it gets slightly loose because the clip does not secure properly. To change the clip, the loom has to be changed. The car then works fine after that, because I drove at 100mph on the A5 dual carriage towards the M54 in Wales, without harsh acceleration
I would like to find out by someone who knows these B6 cars very well, so I can get a proper check up including boost, no pipe leaks etc. I'm from Birmingham, if that helps.
Regards zahid
