But what kind of fuel consumption can I expect to see on my 2006 1.9 Polo TDI Sportline (Bone stock minus 63mm DP & Exhaust)

I put in 53l unleaded and I'm gona check how far it can go

http://www.um.co.za Says:
Highway 4.3
Fuel Consumption - Urban 6.8
Consumption Annual Average 5.2

is um.co.za Correct ? what is your experience ?

Have had the car for less than a week so everywhere is a race :lol: My foot is VERY heavy !!! :grin: :grin:
(was joking about the unleaded btw :troll: )
With a heavy foot don't expect much more than 650km! But if you drive nicely, in mixed conditions, expect around 750-850km I guess.

Hi guys
Just bought a 1.9 tdi 2007 it has rm motion software
Cant seem to get the fuel economy to 5 or 6lt /100km. It mostly runs at 11lt/100km

Also noticed. I drove the car around 20km from home to work and the temp of the car was only on quater. Normally i think should sit half way.
During this time i drove at 2000rpm around 110km/h. It dropped to 9lt/100km

Any ideas what could be wrong
