    Morning Folks

    Getting the new car up together

    First descent run yesterday and was gobsmacked on how crap she was on fuel

    Straight away i noticed she was not even getting to 70 on the temp gauge so new thermostat on order which i know will help the issue

    Also noticed egr leaking oil , so new gaskets for that on order, will also give it a good clean as i know these can fowl up.

    Anything else i should be looking at ?

    Excellent service history inc oil change 3 months ago. Air filter done. Will also get a new fuel filter in case

    My previous A6 Avant 2.7tdi quattro was much better on fuel

    Thanks

    Gary

    Might as well do a new CTS whilst coolant is drained down a bit .

    I don't think that is unexpected....170 always been quite thirsty then you've got the heavier avant, and quatro which is a major fuel drain. It's not great but normal for your build of car I'd say

    No quattro, but I have a 2011 avant, 170. Best I get on regular journeys is about 42. On the motorway, it might get to 47 driving around 70. I find that unless the heaters / ac is off, temp rarely gets to 90 on regular 10-20 mile journeys, usually rests around 70/80. I don't think it's the thermostat, but it'd be helpful to know if you find it does make a difference.
