I would say that is bad, as I can get 40mpg out of mine, if driving sensibly and it is a stage 2 remapped 1.8 turbo

I would look for a member local to you on here as the best bet who will scan your car for a few beer tokens don't go to a dealer as there charges for a scan are over the top!

Alternately get a cheapish vag=com lead and download a copy of vcds from the ross tech website the lite version will allow you to at least scan your car for any codes.
