300 Tdi auto a few Q's*updated*
drmike:
I must be doing something wrong - I filled up from the 1/4 mark after 476 miles, I'd be quite disappointed to get under 30 mpg on my manual 300 TDI. Then again maybe I drive like old fogey, which is roughly speaking what I am.

Not sure about yours, but my fuel gauge is very inaccurate - on a full tank it hardly moves for 200 miles and the last quarter tank ges in less than 60 miles!

I got 500 miles on a full tank last week all motorway, manchester to portsmouth and back.then put fifteen pounds in it on thursday, and had to put more in today to go shopping.
Matbrown:
Just a quick Q about autos, i'm new to them so not sure if i have a problem or it's my driving!
When just driving on roads at normal speeds the revs sometimes jump up suddenly then settle as if the clutch was slipping when changing gear or is it just my pedal control?

300 TDi with auto , ab-fab and wouldn't go to manual. Got a k&n filter in and fitted a snorker which i think improves response and mpg....have had 600 miles out of a tank before driving down to southampton and back , got cruise control which i think also helps?
Off-roading then autos are the bizz! You can concentrate better not having to worry about changing gears.
Its maybe worth having all the gearbox and transfer box oils changed...that way you know its done and they are all clean oils!!
The dip stick jumping out can be cured with a surgical glove and a tie wrap and a bit of duct tape keeps mine in and don,t have to worry about water and dust ingress!!
