A4 170hp fuel consumption?
Discussion
What do people generally get from these engines?
I was expecting around 40-45mpg, but brim to brim has come out at 35mpg, which not only being less than I expected, but also means a tank only lasts 450 miles! By comparison, my old 1.9tdi A4 would do 700 miles on a tank. It does a 30 miles to work and back every day, so not a lot of cold driving. Mix of roads, about 14 miles duel carriageway and 14 miles back roads, 5 mins maybe in slow moving traffic, should be a equation for high efficiency.
The car isnt new, so I dont expect it to loosen up as it beds in.Done 75,000

if its a 2010 its a CR engine. A common issue on these is one of the DPF sensors burn out. If this is failing then it may be telling the ECU to force regen all the time (as its maybe reading wrong/not working at all) which would make fuel consumption poor.
As above get it scanned on VCDS

Didnt know I could change mode! How do I know what mode Im in, and change it?
Rang local Audi dealer to have a chat and book it in for getting scanned, the service bloke said that mid 30's was pretty common for these engines and if anything was wrong the EML would be on. If that's true, its shocking! 35mpg is 20mpg less than claimed. I know they wont be the same, but 20mpg is 40% out from official figures.

I could get mid 40s out of the 1.8T 160bhp FWD 2009. Not that it helps you. But I guess it does mean that there might be something at fault with yoursRang local Audi dealer to have a chat and book it in for getting scanned, the service bloke said that mid 30's was pretty common for these engines and if anything was wrong the EML would be on.

My 10 plate (25k mile) Octy VRS (170) manual is showing 47 mpg over the last 6 months. That's based on a relatively short 10 miles each way commute. I had it showing 64.7 on the computer the other day for a 20 mile cross country mixed journey - admittedly diving like Miss Daisy. Have to say how impressed I am with this car and its CR engine. Much more refined than my 2.0 pd 140hp Mk 5 Golf I ran for 2 years and equally as economical. It goes like s
t off a shovel and costs less to run fuel wise than the 1.2 petrol Fabia loan car they lent me for a week a while back....
t off a shovel and costs less to run fuel wise than the 1.2 petrol Fabia loan car they lent me for a week a while back....I my 63 plate A4 technic , is currently showing a life time average of 46.3 at 24k . That is around 30% down on Audi published claims , spoke a couple people who have had the equivalent 320ED for a similar time who are achieving high 50,s and in one case 62 mpg over life ,of course these are all numbers from the on car system I have never tried a brim. To brim check. 2 Stealers also confirmed this is about what one should expect in the real world and Audi UK didn't deny that this would be the norm.
