Drinking Pertol

Wait, I'm only getting 30mpg combined. I thought that was normal! Do I need mine seen to too???

Its down to driving type and driving style. Ive averaged 33mpg over the past 7 years and always got 10% less when ever ive drove a DSG so unless you see a drop in your own personal average I would say nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I've been to my local VW dealer and they say its misfiring and there're keeping it for more tests?
Does this mean it could be big trouble?
thanks

Probably just a spark plug or coil pack.

Okay... it turns out it needed a new injector, which they have fitted for me @ £380.00 with the original diagnostic charge been waived.

It seems like they've looked after me??

If the car is working fine and you're happy then that's all that matters.

Dealer prices will always be higher but if it's all sorted then alls good in the world.

Great!!  Just got it back and still no better - plus to add insult to injury the engine management light is on GRRRRR!!!!

Straight back to the dealer it goes!

They believe by replacing the initial injector this may have forced another one to pop which subsequently will now need replacing.

So I could potentially be £700 down and my car still drinking as much petrol as it did when I first brought it in??
Help ME !!!!!

[jv]

I can't grasp the logic to that. Alternatively, the injector they replaced wasn't faulty and has been done for no reason.

Sounds like a mis-diagnosis to me

It's very rare that one would go pop straight after another.  Did they even road test the car as going by your description it sounds like the light came back on about 30 seconds after you picked it up!
