RRS 3.0 Diesel Fuel consumption
Discussion
I have a 2010 model RRS 3.0 diesel hse which I bought from new and have now covered 4,000 miles.
The fuel consumption was awful and it occasionally gave me a 'reduced performance' warning light so I took it back to the dealer. They replace a value on the turbo and found a breather pipe had come off the turbo.
The engine runs smoother now but fuel consumption has only increased from 20 to 22 mpg.
Generally speaking, the car only gets used a couple of days a week and will do about 30 miles on a run. I've been driving it sensibly and the dashboard says that its doing 25 - 26 mpg but filling the tank shows otherwise.
This vehicle is supposed to do 30mpg on the combined cycle, so has the car still got a problem or is this normal?
If it is normal, does it get any better or will chiping help?
