MPG on standard ED30

[oak_grun]

Hi,

My trusted Bora TDi has gone to car heaven and im am currenlty using the Edition for the commute to work on a daily basis, approx 20 miles each way.

Thing is, i struggle to get even 30mpg - thats sitting at 65mph on the run into work!

what do the other Edition 30 owners get mpg wise?

Is this the normal mpg i can expect? i though it woudl be more as its mainly motorway driving!

thanks

I know its a different model but the best my KO3 gti did was 44mpg at that speed. Something sounds amiss there. My KO4 S3 also did 37mpg.

something not quite right.

needs checking over

its just had a service at Stealth and nothing was flagged up by them.

Could it be the DV that causing it?

[rich83]

Yeah check the DV and pcv.

I hardly ever get over 30 unless I am trying.

will do.  i hear you, thing is im trying and its struggles to get to 30mpg!!

whats is the best way to check both DV & PCV?

Are they located in the same area in the engine bay? 

thanks

Just spoke to mate and he also suggested in could be the MAF?

Anyone had a similar issue with there Edition?

[rich83]

I cant say Ive heard of many failed MAFs on these

Easy way to test the MAF. Unplug it and go for a drive. You will get an engine light which can be cleared with VCDS but if it drives better then it's your MAF.

As Rich says though not heard of a MAF failing ona TFSI.

thing is is drives fine...does sometimes rev a bit hight inbetween gear changes...will try and get it plugged into vcds...would this be able to tell is its is the BV or PCV

Thanks

[Hedge]

No.

whats the general MPG figure fellow Edition30 owners are getting?

To check dv you need to remove it and inspect manually. There's guides on here for it.

PCV is checked by removing oil cap while engine is running. If it splutters your pcv is fine but if it runs as normal it's gone

Thanks Luke. Will check them out over the weekend!

I would say 30mpg was about right for an ED30 having had one for nearly 4 years. As soon as you use any kind of acceleration it knocks a chunk out of your mpg straight away , never got more than 34mpg even on 200 mile round trips .
