hi guys just wanted to know what you guys think i have an audi a4 51 reg 1.9tdi i have had a brand new turbo fited and half the engine rebuilt got it fully serviced changed all filters, and i am geting around 40mpg local and around 50+ on motorway. what do you guys think is it good or bad?

thanks in advance.

Sounds about right to me, what were you getting before?

xctly same but i thought it shoud be around 50 mark

That sounds reasonable to me.
Unlikley a heavy car like an A4 will do much more than 50mpg on the motorway.

You have another thread running about a faulty MAF.
Surprised you're seeing that sort of mileage if you MAF is buggered . . . even more surprised that the person who changed the turbo and half the engine didn't change the MAF while they were at it.

have to agree with Vee... turbo change means there is a LOT to reconsider. what damage was done when the turbo blew? did it go down the exhaust? damage cats? why did the turbo blow, over coked/ cooked?
