Hi,
I got my mk4 golf remapped from you guys like 3 weeks ago, I've noticed fuel consumption is very low, i'm only getting 5 miles per litre, I don't think it should be like that as per my knowledge by remapping, I should get more fuel consumption and more BHP.
need your advise, thanks!

So about 26mpg?? are you booting it everywhere??
-
I hardly rev over 3000 in any gear :cool:

Hard driving will give you 16-26MPG,
Driving with the correct manner that map on your car will return 33-37mpg with. If your MPG is that low , then it mean you have an issues along the line some where, Boost leak, MAF fault, lambda sensor, etc which is causing the low MPG.

ben,
this picture is taken today while i was on M1 going to London and driving in fifth gear, I get same 26.6 MPG reading even if my car is in stationery position.
when i got remappped done, you checked my car first with vag-com to see if there were any errors but everything was fine.

easy one this mate
hit the button on the bottom of your wiper stalk
what you're looking at is your LONG TERM AVERAGE MPG as denoted by the number 2 in the corner of the display
i think we can chalk this one down to driver error :tongue:
-
Take it that it was driver error then :laugh:

i use the no1 trip which resets two hours after ignition off - that shows you your current trip MPG - try that and report back what it says :smiley:
your miles to empty is based on that long term average and your current driving style - if you hold down the reset button and reset the computer, then take it out you may find that the range will go up as long as you drive like a vicar everywhere :smiley:

there is one setting which shows MPG according to foot pedal which varies, rest are with 2 in corner, which one do you want me to try?

you need to swap it to the no1 trip computer..............
hit the button on the bottom of your wiper stalk
alternatively - READ THE MANUAL

i don't find it funny jonny, if you read first post in this thread, i mentioned how many miles i'm getting in one full tank, which works around 26MPG which in my view is far low!!
i'm only getting 5-6 miles per liter and the picture i posted was to give idea about revs which i normally drive on. i hardly rev over 3000 in any gear

if you're not revving above 3K in all respect the engine is working very hard! The idea of the turbo is to provide power with minimal effort but you're not using it at all
i could understand if you had a derv like me as past 3.5K or so the diesels run out of power
get your nose in the engine bay and check for any signs of cracked / split pipes, loose hoses etc
also brim the tank and work out your MPG old skool - don't rely on the computer.

thats true, the turbos there for a reason don't just hold it under revs all the time as the 1.8t in any form needs more revving.
