miles from a full tank of diesel

[quattro_fan]

hi guys, in my newly aquired 2001 a4, 2.5 tdi q 180 sport, with no DIS, im only getting 450 miles from a full tank on 90% town driving, just wondering if this what i can expect to achieve, or should i be getting more. with no DIS i cant see MPG at any time, only miles remaining in the tank.

Thanks

Sean

that sounds good thanks, did you retro fit a DIS? it would be interesting to know from someone who has driven these cars for a while, could be normal, im just not sure. what are you getting?

My A4 B7 has given me 720 miles to a full tank on 3 occasions, but more often than not 650 miles, if I cane it i usually get 600 miles. 70 litre tank.

Ive had my 180 q s for 4 years now and 450miles to a tank is about correct. Sometimes even less but that depends on the driving style, I retrofitted cruise and dis to mine and on the motorway will see around 40 -42 and in town 30-32. With a remap you could see a little better on fuel economy if driven steady but give it the beans and it will use a little more fuel.

right, 450 miles good to know its doing the right mpg

can anyone recomend a good place to get a remap done?, i live in the poole/bournemouth area. somewhere close would be good, but i dont mind a trip if needed.
