golf 1.8 t gti w reg

[djianb]

hi ive gotta 1.8t gti 2000 reg, and iv noticed since iv had it, it drinks petrol quite quickly even if driving very cautious.?? it cost around £45 to fill it and does roughly 180/200 miles on a ful tank is this correct and the same with other peoples cars? i can't see a leak what so ever and jus wanted abit of re assurence. i've gotta baily d-v fitted would this be causing me to use more fuel? i'm going to be changing it to a forge soon as i've heard using any other d-v could damage the turbo and cause significant engine problems? any help would be appreciated guys

thanks

Should be doing atlast 300 if driven sensibly! Get it scanned for faults mate.

also forgot to post that on my trip computer it says 24 mpg could this be right?

Some nice chappy on here might have vagcom near you just sort them out a drink. Could be loads of things mate. My mates passat is doing it and its the lamber sensors on the exhaust could be them. Vagcom will tell you exactly what it is

I have one. Where u from?

[djianb]

from birmingham, need to get it on a vag com cause 1, of the fuel consumption n 2, airbag fault & light.

was gun buy vag com off ebay for like 15 quid n drop it on my laptop is it worth bothering cause i dnt really no much bout cars n if it had all these faults what could i do?

All it does is tell you what fault codes you have and clear them. If ur getting it fixed bt a stealer you might aswell give it to them. But its useful if ur sorting the problem urself to save £`s
