[AndyMitton]

thanks mate!!  i have VAGCOM myself, and have the errors ive posted before: fuel bank 2 is too rich, leak between throttle body and turbo and secondary air injection leak/fault i think...live in wakefield so lonnng way. thanks for the idea though mate!

Ah right, didnt know you had them error codes.

At least its something to work on, shame it doesnt explain why the fuel bank is too rich. Looks like you got to get checking for leaks.

Best of luck.

Mines a W 2.0l gti and as others have said your mpg is way off.  If I really granny drive it I can get about 42mpg if I don't get stuck in traffic.  Normal driving I get somewhere between 32-37, again mainly depending on how often I get stuck in traffic.  Even if I boot it (which is kind of a requirement to make the 2.0 actually go fast ) my mpg doesn't suffer too much.

Is it running okay ?  Mine once went through a phase of reporting 15-20mpg and the engine was running a bit rough.  It started doing this after the oil warning light came on and continued running like this for about a week after being topped up.  I had it booked to go into the garage and the day before it just went back to normal.  Not sure if this was a result of it going into safe mode or something ? It really was using sh!t loads of petrol too, not just reporting the mpg wrong.  Needless to say the oil is checked weekly now.

Mines around the same if not exact. If i drive nice and easy can easiliy get 38-40mpg. However if im putting my foot down then 15-25mpg. Filled the tank up last week, still a bit over half and ive done 152miles. Ive noticed that the top half of the tank gives more mileage so you might wanna use just the top half, ud get more for your £20.

This week ive also redlined in 2nd and 3rd so i reckon theres defo something wrong with the car thats giving 70miles to £20

Yes i love people with petrol engines slating us diesel owners lol.

I love putting in 10 quid and doing 92 miles lol.

[JOCKEY21]

i've got a 1.8gti turbo stage1 revo'd and i did 330miles on one tank and the light still hadnt come on yet dont run it low on purpose jus couldnt find a shell garage was at 330 when i filled up and wasnt in the red or light on n people say u get crap economy from the 1.8turbo

[ub7rm]

I thought the 1.8T was quite well regarded (for a petrol...) for its fuel economy.  Certainly more economical to run than the 2.0  Great fuel economy on M-way's, maybe not so much doing town driving

It's just banter.
