MFA MPG

[Horney]

Mine doesn't read right (Well I hope it does'nt as 13mpg is not good!). I read somewhere on here about a vacuum pipe for this. If my pipe is faulty is this causing the problem or could it be something else? Everything else on the computer works fine.

Cheers yall,

is this normal driving like less than 20mile trips etc cause tehn its probably right i dont get alot but 13 is maybe about 5mpg lower than what i get only thing to do is before a trip reset it all setting 1 and 2 and test it that way if its still reading the same then could be a leak yes or could be you are actually burning that much fuel, in which case have a mechanic look at it.

I expect low MPG round town, but on a constant run down the M6 yesterday it never got over 20mpg but after some quick maths today of how many miles I covered and how much I'd shoved in the tank it's quite a bit out.

I had an identicle (well it was red not white) GTi about 5 years ago and that used to do 30mpg ish on the motorway. It's deffo faulty, I just wasn't sure how it worked and if this pipe could be the reason. I really must get a Haynes!

you've probably got a leak in the vacume hose that feeds the cluster off the inlet manifold
