Vag 1.8 20v turbo mpg

[laser avant s2]

Only 60k on the clock...standard atm...only seeing an average of circa/low 20s mpg wise...unless its accelerator is tickled incredibly lightly with a feather (and a fluffy small one at that ) What needs replacing to increase the mpg? maf recently cleaned, air filter replaced had a good dose of redex and a couple of tanks of tesco super unleaded any ideas or suggestions are positively welcomed

I have a 2000 A3 1.8T 150bhp which is totall standard with about 59k miles on the clock and I average about 31 mpg out of a tank. It does dip to about 24 when driven hard but nowhere near as low as yours.

On a motorway run at 80-80mph its up to 40mpg.

Not sure what it could be, I presume its all serviced etc?.

Yep vag history...new sparks to go on at the weekend... and an Audi S4 dv

My Octy VRS standard was doing about 36mpg round town and 48 on a run.

Get your car read for errors, it could be one of many sensors including the MAF or lambda probe.

Other than that, check for blockages in the air system, get a service done by a respected specialist.

Will get it vag com d and see what pops up... looking through the bills etc its had a new probe in the last 10k but ive known of bad ones... mafs been cleaned recently...

My Vrs with a re=mapp got average 32mpg 24 when going hard and 40+ when cruzing.
As said get checked as VAG are notorious for elecrical (sensor) problems.
