Title: How much fuel does 10 litres give you?
Post by: MK6-Fan on 02 July 2012, 22:43

Guys,

Excuse the stupid question, but it has to be asked since I don't yet have my new Golf!  :laugh:  :embarassed:

The dealer says the new car will be supplied with 10 litres of petrol (TSI 122 'Match') but I wondered how much does 10 litres get you in the Golf assuming it's being filled up from the red light?

Is 10 litres i.e. 1/8th of a tank or 1/4 of a tank?

Cheers

The tank holds 55 litres IIRC

I thought VW supplied the car from new with half a tank ??

If you look on the VW website at the spec of your car you should be able to work it out. 10 litres sounds stingy to me as I normally get a full tank.

According to my dealer you get 20 litres..........
I made sure that I am getting a full tank  :smiley:

Did you not push for a full tank as the clincher for the deal? Tut tut.

10 litres is nearly a 5th of a tank. (tank size is 55litres) expect to get around 70-80 miles on a brand new engine with that in a 122 at a guess.

Tell the dealer you won't give him a good score in the VW Customer Satisfaction Questionnaire unless you get a full tank  :laugh:
