ibiza cupra tdi economy

[scott04shark]

hey was just wanting to try and find out what all ibiza cupra tdi owners were thinking of their econony?how many miles do you get out of a tank?when i put in £35 roughly 40 litres i get about 300 miles,was curious to know if this was lowor not?

40 litres... 300 miles! blimey! thats not very much at all!

 

[scott04shark]

thats what i thought but i contacted my dealer and all they said was keep an eye on it and let them know if it changes,but i would have been expecting something like between 350 and 450 miles.when i fill the tank,the computer only shows 300 miles till i need to refill is that what other tdi drivers find?

Take the lead out of your shoe. The accelerator pedal isn't an on/off switch you know.

Seriously though the number of miles per tank depends on how you drive it and on what type of roads. If you spend all your time in traffic then it'll obviously go down, but if you're cruising on a motorway then it'll go up. I think the most I've ever got out of one tank driving "normally" is about 500 miles, but in general day to day use around town I get between 350 and 400.

That's worse than my Corrado G60!

You should be getting at least 400miles per tank.

What nobody has mentioned is whether they are just filling the tank until the pumps clicks off, of if they are properly filling it (ie venting - not sure what this is ? Do a search ).

My PD130 is remapped to roughly the same output as a Cupra TDI, and from a tankfull (using venting) I typically get 500 to a tank, often more.

Im in the same boat mate the thing drinks the juice mainly cos I drive it like I stole it.
I put £20 a time in my tank and get about 180 miles out of it. The ave MPG on the computer says 36.5..
I have had it up to 50mpg on a long run so can achive a good MPG but wheres the fun in that.
I didnt buy a Cupra to drive it like Mrs Daisy.
By the way the tyres only last 10,000 miles and Ive just done a set of brake pads in 20,000.
These things aint the cheapest to run but its worth it

mines knocking on for 180BHP (with genetically modified silicone implant) and i get 55 - 60mpg on a morning. slightly less on a night when i'm heading for home. But easily 450 + to a tank.

Just clocked 300 miles on just over half tank this morning.

ok, i'm feeling really bad that in my (petrol) cupra i only manage about 230 miles to a full tank...

lead right foot syndrome...

Mines a Leon but I normally put £40 in at a time not quite a full tank the display tells me its good for 405 miles and I normally get 380 to 400 until the light comes on with an average of around 38 mpg dont do any motorway miles, I can get more but dont really enjoy driving it like my mom, might have somthing to do with why the clutch has started to slip though.

No, i got a turbo and 12 more valves

I know but for all the good they do u, u mite as well not have. Only 1.5secs quicker to 60 as standard, and thats if you can drive

well the thing is i put in £35 and the pump clicks and stops to indicate its full.the computer in the car reads i will get 300 miles max,does it ever show any higher at all?i dont drive with my foot planted and i have never taken the car above 4000 revs,even when i do put the foot down,never flat to the floor.i do mostly city driving but even so based on you guys figures as well,something doesnt ad up,but my dealer didnt seem that bothered just said to keep an eye on it but surely something is not right?

Does sound rather crap, are you using supermarket fuel or BP ult.... Tesco's is the best s/m fuel.
My chipped Passat does 38+ local even in this cold weather and 43 @80 on the mway

 

[scott04shark]

well ive been going to the esso and using their diesel pump,not any special type or anything still pretty gutted tho,could it be that because the car is brand new this is happening?ive just done over 500 miles in it?another thing when you put the key in the ingnition and turn it round until just before starting the engine do you hear a noise from the back of the car?nothing major,like something clicking into place or along those lines?

 

[sssstew]

its the city driving its killing it. and im also worried you havent reved it above 4k rpm. I think it needs a good hard blast down an A road. and then try a long run, say 100 mile trip cross counrty, see what you get.

 

[mrcoyote]

Surely with only 500 miles on the clock it's nowhere near run in yet and so the engine's still rather tight. I could be inclined to say give it a few more miles before passing judgement.

I think the noise you're hearing is the fuel pump priming the lines so it's nothing to worry about. I could be wrong though...
