VW 2.0 115bhp.... Fuel Consumption / MPG
Discussion
Owned a VW Bora 2.0 for past 6 months.... if you own a VW 2.0 from around the same age bracket 99-03)appreciate any advise on :-
- Your av. MPG and under what driving conditiions ?
- or/and what mileage you getting from a full tank, and again under what driving conditions ?
- Also does it use oil ??
Appreciate any response.
* * * * * * * *
Oil consumption appear to be 1 litre per 1k-->1.5k miles or so, which I know is OK, but on revving engine appear to have black deposits on the ground even when engine hot...(like vapour deposits). Is this normal ?
Problem is Ive never been able to get my combined average fuel consumption over 21-22 MPG although this is comprised of motorway and short town stop-start runs, at very best it has been 26-28 purely comprising of motorway only 60-70 MPH changing gear at 2k revs on the way to get there.
Two visits have been made to garage, where car been rigged up to machines / computers and both nothing can be found to be wrong. Been serviced, and since changed the air filer.... only suggestion so far is in changing the lambda sensor.

That is terrible MPG you should be into the 40mpg when you dive like a saint & mid to low 30's in normal fast driving.
Other than replace the lamba & see if if does the job I'd suggest ya air mass meter is buggered esp if it feels down on power also, the trouble is its not easy to check & a rollimg road session can be the only solution.

I drive an Audi 80 with a 2.0 8v 115bhp engine and regularly get 32mpg "caning" it and 34 - 38 driving sensibly. Sounds like you have a problem there. Get it to AMD on the rolling road. They will sort it out.
