Where has my fuel economy gone?

George the Disco:
Techy question; I've not changed anything on George and yet where I used to get 535miles to a tank I now get 400! :shock:

Does anyone have any bright ideas as to why this might be happening, or more accurately where the leak might be?

Check the injector pipes for signs of a leak.

I had a hairline crack in one on my old 200 Tdi, didn't jump out at you, but made a difference to the economy.  The pipe in question was wet, where the fuel had been seeping out under pressure and spread over the surface of the pipe.

matthew:
How new are the air and diesel filters?
Have you changed the brand of diesel that you buy most often?
Has the usage changed? Are you stuck in traffic commuting more often?
Have you bought some new (heavier) boots?  :)

Extra weight, try washing it Chris  :lol:
