MPG MK2
« on: 13 October 2008, 11:41 »
Heylo there!

Does anyone know the original MPG for the 1991 MK2?

And does anyone know roughly how much it would do now?

Its a 1991, H reg 1.3. Done 125000 miles?

Just bored at work and wondering!  :tongue:

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

You're probably looking at late 20s to early 30s MPG wise. Original figures are hard to come buy. There's been a lot of threads on it and there's been a lot of variation. It depends on how healthy the engine is and how well set up it is.

It doesn't look like that at the moment, I've been lazy  :lipsrsealed:

I always wash it using the two bucket method and a wool mitt, shammy it then use Auto Glym paint renovator on the worst bits of pink (roof and bonnet mainly) , followed AG super resin polish all over, followed by meguairs gold class wax. And I use shoe polish followed by AG bumper care on the black bits - comes up looking sweet as  :cool:

It takes like, 7 hours though  :rolleyes:

Cleaned my wheels the other day and that took nearly 2 hours with a toothbrush and some acid wheel cleaner! Bloody BBS!

Woah I think Im gonna have to write that one down!

I washed mine, then Turtle waxed it all over, its a start because as you can see on the pic, it looked like it had never been cleaned or waxed!

I might need to clean with some major detail though, ie under my bonnet I don't even wanna disclose lol.

Dya know whats best to clean the engine and under the bonnet generally?
