From the Volkswagen website :

Pumpe DÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¼se - which means 'pump injector' - overcomes the problem of pressure lost through fuel pipes. The injector and pump are integrated into a single Pumpe DÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¼se unit. Each cylinder has its own Pumpe DÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¼se unit mounted in the cylinder head and operated by the camshaft, injecting fuel directly into the combustion chamber at pressures up to 30,000psi. These high pressures produce a far more efficient blending of the fuel/air mix, precise control of fuel quantities and injection timings.

Benefits of Pumpe DÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¼se include good fuel economy, reduced exhaust emissions, and substantially increased performance with more torque than traditional injection systems. And the Pumpe DÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¼se engine is relatively quiet in operation, with noise levels similar to those of a petrol engine.

Pumpe DÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¼se technology is exclusive to the Volkswagen group.

560 miles to a tank is very good going indeed I reckon :smiley:

I do smaller trips, not much motorway, so thats why I get 470miles to a tank and you get 560...........Ill have to drive on motorways till the tank turns empty, I live close to Cardiff so I should be able to get to somewhere in north Scotland lol, on second thoughts dont think I'll bother. nothing agains Scotland tho!

Put your foot down my son, thats what the torque is for! I regularly get 45 - 50 mpg out of my GT TDI 130 as I have a lead right foot! :wink:
