can any one tell me if my car is right

Sounds well off mate, what mods do you have?

I get around 250miles to a tank all town driving thats with a k03s setup.

Hows the car driving?

 

[boyles11]

well i think its mapped the kid who i brought it off didnt know but it boosts to about 14psi
but the car feels like its holdin back like wen ive got my foot slighty on the accelerator in 3rd say it feels like its flat spottin and juders slightly?

Maf sensor possibly?

 

[Swordjo]

I just got about 285 miles from £35 worth of fuel there and that was a mix of motorway and country roads. I think mine is mapped aswell (only just got it so I don't actually know yet but it boosts to 16psi)

I'll need to buy Vag-Com and see , think my maf could be gubbed too.

 

[boyles11]

i was thinkin of gettin a maf sensor cuz heard they go common plus my car hunts on idle sum times

 

[flooky]

I get between 270-310 miles on a full tank.. and also carry a spare maf senser and coil pack in the boot lol

I seem to get 200 miles bang from a full tank, so I think I have something up aswell? Revo stg1, fmic, bcm filter etc. Mostly town driving but had 270 miles with motorway once. Sound bad?

mine also has bad mpg does any one know how many mpg your supposed to get when running standard with no mods at all? i get about 20 to 28 mpg but my maf is fine because iv had it checked out?

i'm running a couple of mods, as seen in my sig, but still get between 34/40mpg according to the computer. i get about 80 miles to a tenner (when it was £1.14 / litre) so not to bad!

 

[boyles11]

well mine tonite had the engine light flashin on way home droped boost then started jerkin?
my computer says im gettin 18mpg its never gone over 20mpg since ive had it!!
how will i know if my MAF sensor is dodgy cause i unpluged it the other day and it didnt run that well engine light came on permantly,
my car jerks about when your going a long at a constant speed and hit a little bump in the road it jerks about slightly?
i aint got a clue were to start looking on these cars

sounds like a coilpack has gone, you could find your fuel problem is a lambda sensor too, mine ate fuel when sensor was buggered, and didnt boost as it should (limp mode)

 

[bennett turbz]

i think mines boosting fine still? but how much is a lambda sensor anyway and where from cheers..

 

[Daymo]

on a 1.6 i get roughly 30-35 mpg, and about 350 miles on a full tank, if thats a decent compariosn!?!?!?

christ that is bad.
no mods, gives me between 30-35mpg

 

[GarryGti]

£40 will get me 180-200miles hard driv and could push 300miles going easy with my mods. averageing 30.1mpg acordind to the computer. motorway can get it up to 53mpg @ around 65mph. but thats well slow lol

 

[boyles11]

i had mine plugged in today and came up a few faults
mostly was random miss fire! in cylinder 2 3 and 4
the blake said to change the plugs and see if it changes any thin but since ive got the car back the EPC light is on now any one no what that means?
is it worth changin coil packs?

 

[Swordjo]

If it's missfiring on 3 cylinders it's more than likey going to be the coilpack thats gubbed mate.

 

[GarryGti]

i'd change the plugs first. When were they last changed

why buy a car like a cupra and worry about the costs of fuel, if you worry then dont drive, and when you do drive enjoy it

simple!
