i also see you have the same warning light regarding a bulb that's out,mines been like it since it came out of VW for a service,intermittant fault,according to VW every bulb will need replacing when i next give them a visit...... :sick:

Although they will do it for free.

normally I would get around 360 miles to a tak however recently whenever I brim it the computer would show over 400 miles.

I reality expect it to return around 300 to 350 to a full tank.

My remapped MK5 will do 27-29 around town. 30 - 35 on the motorway (all depending on how much of a rush I'm in).

I've done several journeys op norf recently and sat at 80 - 85 and only just sneaked into the 30s. Sit at 70 and you'll get 34-35 easily.

As Chuff very rightly says, GTI shouldnt be driven with MPG in mind. First year of owning her I used to keep it the trip comp on the MPG reading. Now I try not and just enjoy the car and fill her up when she needs it. Still check it now and again thought to make sure we are all ok lol :D

Just try and enjoy her.

Over the last 2,800 miles, 31.4 mpg  :grin:.  Amazing for a superchipped sports car that doubles up as a shopper.  Drove to Silverstone and back in my diesel this weekend, 21mpg  :sick:
