Been driving my derv about over the last month and havent be overly impressed with the fuel consumption. But the last time i put £40 in a got 480 miles so that about right now?

TD by the way

 

mines similar to that m8 just over 100 mile to 10 squid, not to impressed either missis xr2 matched that was nearly ten years older and was quicker too

 

I used to have a 306 TD and it was the same, if not worse!

 

yep the one i got my girlfriend was the same, pretty shite on fuel, i got better out of my cav sri, over 200 miles to £20

but then she liked the sound of the turbo she said

 

the best i have done was 260 miles to £20 but i was driving miss Daisey around

 

yeah that's what my gf calls me

 

Yeah that sounds about right....filled mine up the other day - £47 - did just under 500 miles on that - 300miles of which was motorway 70-80mph pickin my wheels up...the rest was in rush hour traffic!

I did honestly think that I'd be getting better than that in it - new derv Beemers sound like they do looooads to the gallon..bit too expensive for me though! LOL!

I wonder how they compare to the 1.8 petrol versions?? Anyone else know of any other turbo diesels that are reasonably nippy but better on fuel & that look half decent??

 

Sounds about right Rhys, am well happy at the moment traveled 100miles to a trackday last Saturday spent most of the day on track and drove home with half a tank

Oh and the best of it was, a load of 200+brake cars couldnt get near me due to the track layout the bags of torque and the set up Go have a play with it on track, you'll be loving her again

Had a few of theese is that a GTi 6? Statements Nah you were dore'ed by a diesel



cheers to Rab for the pics

 

My alfa 156 Jtd aint bad 2.4 136bhp and over 220lbf/t and still does 450-600 depending on driving ... and if you get a newer one they are eother 150 bhp or 175bhp!!!! still nippy!!!!

 

Cool, as long as it about right, as i serivced it a while ago changing everything plus derv filter etc to try and up the MPG

Andy would love to do a track day with it but i would need decent tyers first I want a set of those GTi-6 alloyus for it, but havent seen any for sensible money

 

we have the same engines

bare in mind mine has 140K* miles

on a run i can get 460 to £40

around town i get 400-430

 

Cool so my 480 miles to £40 was spot on Dont for get Spiky i have turned the fueling up too

 

ive seen figures quoted for them as 42mpg...

i was averaging 38mpg driving local and around...

there is a massive massive difference on a td on how you drive them
ive got a seat altea at the mo (brand spanking) and thats only averaged 38 on thrash!! but driven at 56mph it was doing 58mpg on the clock!!!

oh and my pug 306 is whank whank whank on fuel... its pi55ing out the end of the pump somewhere and running down the front of the engine!! half a tank 156 miles!! the feckers left on the drive now!!
