td5 or 300tdi economy

<< < (2/4) > >>

JIMBOBLY:
thanks for all your replys,although 30mpg is good,my passat will do 50mpg easy,but im thinking of the one tax and one insurance,mot etc,i think i will be saving in the long run,i'd be better off with a 200 or 300 tdi,td5 has to many things to go wrong for my liking ;)

eugene:
id go for a 200tdi jim not got all thhem ecu things to go wrong

peasey:
I have a 300 TDI on a m 94 with no ecu and get 32mpg.

thermidorthelobster:
My 200tdi used to do about 30-32mpg regardless of loading.

The TD5 (also manual) did about 28 max when I got it.  After lifting it, fitting bigger tyres and a roof rack I get about 24mpg.

As a rough rule of thumb expect 2-4mpg less from a TD5 than a 300tdi.

mayhem16uk:
use to drive a td5 110 day in day out, did 26mpg with a 3 1/2 loaded ton trailer on the back.
