    Hello people, I have 1.5 TSI new Formentor with around 1300km on it. Been driving it in various conditions, but mostly in city traffic with comfort driving mode. My average economy is 10.6l/100km which seems a few liters more that I expected and read on the internet from various sources. I'm...

  2. Petrol thirsty or faulty engine 1.4 (older gen)

    Purchased a seat ibiza mk5 2009 1.4 petrol , I've read a mixture of opinions but excessive fuel consumption seems to be a common issue with these older generation engines, got to a point where I can't establish whether there is a serious issue that is causing this I am not aware of, maybe faulty...

Is that just the lot of 130bhp engines, is it the fact that I don't like to use my brakes for corners or is it bad allignment? Half of my front right...

    Just how accurate is the readout for fuel economy on these cars? I've just moved job where I now have a much longer drive and it's through Nottingham itself. I'm also in traffic all the way in each direction so no chance to gas it. I've been pleased to see an indicated 30mpg a few times, yet...

  6. Can you still get good economy in cold weather?

    I understand that cold weather normally affects the performance and economy of most, if not all, diesel engines. I've noticed in my SC 1.6TDi I get 52MPG when it's a warm day (7oC I class as warm at the moment!), and I get around 46-47MPG when it's cold (-0.5 --> 0.5 like today). :blink: Is...

    Hoe much does the climate control affect economy?

    I hear people going on all the time about how having the climate control / aircon on uses loads more fuel - I even know someone who won't even use it on his car because of that!! (cheap tw@t!). But - on my FR TDi I have honestly never noticed a drop when using it - I'd imagine if you had it...

  20. Altea economy - normal or not?

    Apologies for yet another economy thread, but hopefully with a little more detail than just 'whats your fuel economy?' I've just got a 1.9TDi and am not blown away by the economy. If I take it really easy I can get over 50 but that is on motorway cruises at 60mph most mornings. I've driven...
