Just wondered what sort of mileage other1.8T owners got from a tank as mine seems to be using quite a lot :sad:
-
From a full tank I get around 280-300 miles motorway driving with a bit of panning :grin:
As for town use, I can stretch to around 60 miles for ?10 :wink:
-
I get around 200 - 240 miles on a full tank of super plus on full boost.
Dont really get anymore if i turn it down so it gets left on full :grin:
-
best i ever got was 320, worst 220 .. average about 280... i get through almost 3 tanks of optimax a week :undecided:
-
Well you've all made me feel much better. I normally get around 280 to 300 but i have had 330 on the motorway.
-
ah you might aswell get it chipped then :wink:
-
It already is :smiley:
-
While we're on that subject, i have a motorsport developments chip which was fitted before i bought the car. It's a 99T and i wondered if it would be possible or worth my while getting that changed for something like a Revo. Would that make any difference?
-
hard to say without seeing a dynoplot.. most AGU maps are similar, but revo is known for giving you a great big whack of torque from 2500 - 4750ish rpm.
-
Would it be easy enough for the mechanic to remove the uprated chip?
-
Removing it will be simple enough.. its replacing it that may cause problems, i was under the impression revo can only remap your ecu if its stock, so they can identify which software they need to flash to it... might be worth contacting revo directly. Speak to Doug or Kev.. they'll sort you out !
-
Nice one, cheers :smiley:
-
My car is doing 60miles to a tenner, it used to be better than that, but its now getting greedy!
-
For some reason i thought that the 2.0 would do more miles than the 1.8t but perhaps not :huh:
-
Yeah it did a few months back lol
-
im lucky if i get 280 to the tank usually 250 max i must have somthing wrong with mine
-
mines over fueling and smells like nasty cabbages out the back :sad:

Faulty cat ?
-
Good knows my car aint happy unless i spend money on it, today my electric window broke again!! that 3 times now since august!!! poor workmans ship i say.
-
regulator clip snapped again ?
-
no it sounds like it fell out of that metal arm thing again, the garage i took it too where cowboys :angry:
-
Didi the window like come down and struggle to go back up??
-
no it went all the way up and now wont move, even tho i can hear it in the door going up and down, its getting on my nerves now as both the front passenger and the drivers was repaired last summer because the clip snapped on both sides, but now the window keeps coming loose out of the metal arm... its such a head jar.
-
:sad:I get 320-340 out of my standard 1.8T which is pretty crap by my reckoning. Got about 300-330 out of my 2.0 which is also poor but its worth it to not be driving a Focus!!!!!!!!!!!
-
That sounds quite good to me
-
sounds good to me to like i said i only get 250 mine standard too apart from the zorst and 18s
-
Probably because half my drivin is motorway miles. or maybe Im just not drivin fast enough!!
-
ye thats would explian it then
-

-
Cant even see em properly in the pics :angry:
-
ye they look pretty much the same but a bit lower from the bumper i aint got a clue how to put pics on here rich&hazel did it for me last time did you fit your front bumper your self coz ive got my headlamp washers for my r32 bumper front but i cant see any were for the pump to screw to the bumper unless i got a bit missing.
ive got for the inside of the bumper
x2 black things that go sort of clip in were the jets go
x2 yellow/white looking  things aint got a clue what these are for or were they go
x1 black plastic thing that goes around the middle grill
and thats about it is there any thing missing? if you no let us know or am i being stupid and they just screw in somewere and theres nothing missing thanks.
-
also got any pics of the front
-
To be honest mate, the bodyshop fitted the bumpers on as I had to get them sprayed. I would have thought that the top of the washer jets just clip into the bumper and connect to the washer jets that are fitted onto the bumper rail. The plastic caps just clips on top.
here's pics of the front

Did u sell your golf, was'nt it on ebay?
-
DVLA have f@cked the records up on my car. I actually did near enough sell it. The winning bidder rang me on Monday morning to say he was coming down to get it but wanted to do a HPI check while he was on his way down. He was from Liverpool, im in Leicester so as you can see its quite a drive. He rang me at 9.30am and said he was leaving at 10.00 and would be at mine for around 1.00pm. I then get a phone call at 11.00am while he was on his way down to say that the HPI company rang him and told him that my car had done 72.000 miles in Aug 04!!! :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: thats what happend. I told him this can't be as I purchased it way before that date and said its only done 65.000 miles at the moment, with FVWSH. He turned around and went home, he didn't believe me, he thought i'd clocked it back.
I rang DVLA, they said thay can't do anything about it and gave me the number for Experion (AA) HPI company. So I rang them and said "what the F@CK is going on??" They told me that as it was first registered to a VW finance company they estimated the annual milage. They said I need to send them some proof of the milage so they can amend/correct their records and ALSO told me that it would take 8-12 weeks to get this corrected!!! :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
So I've sent off a copy of my MOT certificate. But now im stuck with the car for around another 2-3 months :angry: :angry:
F@CKIN wayne kerrS!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:
-
Bastrd :sad:
Looked at ur pics of it, looks nice, keep it up for sale and hope noone hpi's it
-
I thought about putting in the auto trader, but it'll be a waste of advertising money because most people are gonna hpi it.
-
Went to Wales on Saturday and got 380 miles without the fuel light coming on. The computer said 33.2mpg average, the car has been chipped to around 207bhp. That was at a steady 75-80mph. :smiley:
-
That sounds good, perhaps i'll try and lower my speed to 75-80 :tongue: :tongue:
-
That was third gear all the way!!!!!!! :laugh:
-
Recon you would have got more miles if you were in second :grin: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
