Fuel consumption!
turtle:
Having my TD5 a few months now I noticed a big difference in my runnings costs, if my maths are correct I'm getting less than 20mph around town a bit more on a good run. Anyone know what the figures should be?
Jake:
I dont know about Td5's but i get 30mpg from my 300Tdi
:)

Wifey has a 2001 TD5 90 and i reckon it averages about 25 mpg , it has clocked up about 40k so far, is yours brand new/very low milage?? as many vehicles have poor mpg readings until they loosen up a tad.
As an example we once owned a brand new ford once (pre green oval days) and once loosened up got an extra 100 miles per tank out of it
Hightower:
Phil,
I average anywhere between 21-27 mpg on mine.
Got better when I cleaned the air pressure and temp sensor on the inlet manifold.

I had the engine in my rover 620i re built a few years ago and got 400miles out of the tank and that was running around town. I have never got 400 miles out of a tank again except when i do a very long motorway journey.
Last tank of diesel in my 300tdi auto I got 400 miles out of it. That was about 150 miles of towing a heavy 2 tonne trailer. 100miles on a motorway / dualcarriage way and then other 50 going in and around Nottingham to pick up a pallet for bricks and then reversing 1 mile along a tow path. another 50 was go to and fetch a boot load of bricks and stop start the whole journey. The rest was just the disco with 1-2 people and enough food shopping for 26 people.
I used to get worse mpg when I had the EGR fitted but now it has been disconnected I get better mpg.
Hope this helps.
