mpg really awful

[ARRAN ZEIDER]

hi all
Got a ibiza cupra with stage 1 revo, 4bar fuel regulator and load of other stuff, but my car is awful on petrol just about get 60 miles to a tenner and thats like driving very slow.

it was never this bad dont know what it car be.

is there anything i can change on it to make it better?

Have you checked your MAF? mine went progressive over a space of a month. fuel consumption went up and performance went down. it started and idled just fine, no missing or anything. new maf, codes cleared and she was just about better, but not quite right. temp sensor had shown a fault on logs too, so i replaced this, cleared faults and now it's as sweet as a nut.

try using a 3bar, you dont want a 4bar with stage1.

 

[ian_cupra]

was gonna say that, most stage 2's dont even use 4 bar, must be overfuelling it to hell

60 miles to a tenner aint really that bad isit?

 

[ian_cupra]

about right for town driving i'd say

^ I thought this meself... thats what i normally get per tenner with the price of petrol these days! ^

 

[alan_n]

lol i wish that was what i usually got out of a tenner. i think i have a bit of a heavy right foot

i've got like a recipt for stage 2 software what does that mean?

its like a steady 50/60 to work but it still goes down well quick lol

how much is a maf?

Doesnt sound bad tbh mate.

Petrol costs £5 per gallon, so if your getting 60 miles on a tenner then your doing 30mpg which isnt that bad for everyday driving, and is pretty much what you should expect for a 1.8t.

Lol, that probably means you have a stage 2 remap!

well it dont hang around, got to get it on the dyno

i get around 70 miles to 11-12 quids worth so that mpg is about right

I thought 60 miles to a tenner is quite good for a turbo car -there are non turbo cars out there what do that sort of mpg.

 

[Cupra Kid]

Thats not too bad if its running that. If you want better mpg drop to stage one

 

[ian_cupra]

if you want more mpg drive it nicer, or bu a diesel, i managed to get 41.4 mpg in my k03s stage 2 cupra, so its possible

 

[sparkie1984]

I've just driven 210 miles to half a tank, I think it said 40 mpg, I'm well chuffed with it! Better than my last car!

 

[TommyCupra]

sounds about right for mixed driving. If your convinced theres something wrong get your best friend VAGCOM out and scan for errors

What i've noticed kills MPG is lots of short journeys, i can manage 35MPG plus on a long journey.
