I have noticed that the fuel consumption on my Leon FR 184ps has started to increase lately.
Previously I would achieve a consumption on about 5.0-5.5l/10km at 120km/h Pace with some city driving added.
While I did this exact run last weekend and refuelled today and got 5.6l/10km indicated and 6.6l/10km calculated..

The weather here is not that hot so it should not be the ac that is causing this.
The car has done about 22000km and I have the dsg version which shiftsreally early so I'm not driving it strangely.
Any ideas?

Pure guess but maybe the DPF is getting blocked and is requiring more active regens to clear?

Dont think so unless the DPF is malfunctioning.
I'm comparing the fuel consumption to the one i had i earlier during the winter.
During the winter i made lots of cold starts and also shorter journeys which should have forced the DPF to go of more often.
Nowdays i never use the car for shorter journeys since i can use my bike instead.

I also noticed that the indicated consumption compared to the actual has increased by quite alot.
Previously it was almost the same, but now it is far from the same..
