Hi All,
Bought a 60 reg Audi A4 Technik 2.0tdi 136 s/s on the 1/3/14 and I seem to be only get ~35mpg..
Am I just unlucky or is there something that I may need to check? Fuel filter, diesel treat? any Ideas?
Cheers

How are you driving it? Town/motorway?
Also are you looking at trip computer 1 or 2?

It varies,
Its a mixture of both town and motorway.. atm I've got (per comp) 80 miles remaining, and ive got a trip mileage of 350 (on 60litres)..
My Passat 2.0tdi 55reg 140 get at least 550 miles, on the same routes.
I moniter both 1&2 (both roughly the same)
Cheers

Doesn't sound right to me. Even if I drive my A7 like ive just nicked it I get better figures than that. Have you had a VCDS scan done?

My 3.0TDI is getting me 36mpg, so unless your nearly all town stuff, that is not great.

Our new a4 (177 Quattro) with 400 miles on the clock has done 39 mpg today with doing 250 plus miles like I have nicked it.
Welcome to the low B8 MPG club.
This issue is the only thing (well, the glovebox light thing irritates me too) that spoils the car for me.
I have however came to terms with the bad MPG and I'm trying to enjoy the car until I can get shot of it next September.

Seems low for a TDIe but the motorway bit is key. My 177 (13k miles) averages mid thirties for a high proportion of local journeys - yet just last weekend I did a 300-ish mile journey which was 90% motorway, 4-up, 'careful right foot' and DIS #1 door to door average claimed 53mpg and the fuel gauge needle finished up just under half full mark. Not scientific but feels right. My previous 2008 143 would have topped out at 47 or 48 for this sort of journey and if I was driving yours last week end instead, I guess I'd be looking for 60+ on DIS, right?
what is the longest run you have done so far?

Mpg on the tdie is disgraceful. Nowhere close to what is advertised. I cannot understand how Audi get away with it.
I changed from an 08 520d to the tdie expecting better mpg and it is actually worse.
Looking forward to getting back to a 5 series.

Yeah but surely the timing chain issues on the 4 cylinder diesel BMW would put you off going back to them it's why I bought the Audi always had BMWs but the thoughts of a 2-3k bill put me off

Correct but I am waiting for the f10 to come into my price bracket. Then I'm gone from Audi.
