Daemon - The Passat was not the most reliable car I ever had (in fact it was possibly the most unreliable) but for some reason I just liked it enough to get another one. Thats the thing with VW`s
on paper, they don't seem much different to most other cars, but there is something about them when used on an everyday basis that makes me kind of like them just that bit more.

Yes i would agree. In fairness i only hand mine for about a year so it went before i might have otherwise been seeing problems.

When i got the passat i always sort of thought maybe i should have got a golf, so this time i got a golf, and now i'm thinking i should maybe have got a passat!

Mind you, if consumption is that much worse with the 1.6TDI Passat, its maybe best i had avoided it.

What are you getting overall in terms of MPG?

Daemon -On the 2.0 ltr Passat I got an average of 63 mpg taken over the entire fuel input / miles covered. but on some fill ups, well over 1000 miles was possible if I brimmed the tank before a long journey, and used a light right foot. On the 1.6 Ltr it seems to be working out at around 51 mpg at best, but this `may' improve over time.

Yes that correlates with what i was seeing in my Passat 2.0TDI Bluemotion. Shame you're not getting more in the 1.6

1000-8000rpm.

Am I doing this right?

Given the bickering elsewhere, I'm willing to say yes. Honda?

Good God man, no such thing.

E30 M3, not quite stock!

Even better!

Volvo xc90 D5 gives me 550 miles on a long run, 350-400 on city driving
Bmw 528i gives 250-300 in town, 400-500 on a long run.
Bmw 335i gives 200-250 in town, 350-400 on a long run.

In the other hand there is the Caterham, where I have sometimes seen around 14 mpg. How on earth could that possibly happen!!???
