I have just used my first tank of fuel on my 2001 130 tdi and jumped on the internet to find out what my average mpg has been for the past 416 miles!!!
i was quite surprised!!! only 37.7!!!
now ok i might off been abit foot heavy at first to test the car out but not to much and i was quite disapionted!!!!
is that a normal figure you gentlmen (and ladies) would expect:zx11:
Short answer - No.
Driving a 130PD in a spirited manner usually yields around 550 miles for me.
Better behaved and I can achieve 630 miles per tank.
On my 130PD SE (RIP) I once achieved 700 miles on a tank :D
i,ve just used a full tank in my 1.8t manual & got 395 with light now on , ,this is 300 on motorway & rest stop start town driving , ,700 on 1 tank is a pipe dream for me ! , ,
Hehe, thats why I bought a diesel!
Before the Passats I owned a Honda CR-V and was draining 50 litres in four days (around 250 miles) - seemed like the petrol station was my second home :(
How I wish I'd wasted less money by getting a Passat diesel wayyyy sooner!
Well 37.7 mpg is not good i was doing 30 in my integra type r but am gutted about this fuel consumtion!!
anyone with any ideas???
I get between 420-450 around town in my 130tdi sport...., but i don't hang about........better on a run though.
im with you on that i get 280-440 miles/tanks thats about 25-35 mpg, sort of what audi say for my a4 1.8tQuote:

I digress - - -I get maybe 55mpg in my 54 Passat 1.9 130bhp jobbie.
Just my two penneth - -

hi pal ref 37.7mpg isent bad i used to have pug 406 hdi that use to give me same around town u dont lok at mpg onley on dual carrage way mway..give go boot now again and check the air box regulary for dirt stuck init or change it if neccry:beerchug:
hi all ,its my 1st 50 quid and i'm on 450 so far and just touching red, mainly 70ish on the motorway but i have booted it once or twice! its been tellin me between 49-54 over 4 days, i,m well impressed !
Just done a 400 mile round trip and used half a tank of fuel, ok it was all motorway driving, but around town that figure would be nearly halfed.The passat is definately a motorway car, driving around town is not a true reflection of how brilliant the passat engine is.
PASSAT TDI SPORT 130 PD. 80,000 MILES
I think the clue is in Integra type R, if you are used to one of these you may be hitting the pedal too hard and changing gear too often, use the torque, you dont need revs, it should pull from 30 in 5th, look at the computer and see the average mpg drop if you change down.
Tug, Is your car a manual or automatic/triptronic?
I have an estate 130bhp desiel triptronic/sport and roughly get around 35mpg. Not what I expected when buying the car. I had a saloon 1.8turbo sport before that returned around 32mpg.
Neither car is hammered so not all desiel are as good as you think.
Everyone says it could be down to the air mass meter!!
Had it changed--No diffirence!!
The the collant temperture sensor was then changed along with timing belt etc at 54k as part of the regular service., again no diffirence.
Brakes not binding + front ones changed.
New tyres and tracking checked.
no fault codes when car plugged into vagcomm.
Totally in the dark and spending a fortune on desiel. :zx11:
I hope you don't have the same luck as me.:(
i had the same bother took calidruns advice and changed the fuel temp sensor cost 12 quid fitted it myself its a bit fiddly took the pipe off the egr valve and blanked the vaccum pipe i was out driving last night and got 180 mile for 20 quid its a taxi by the way thats forty odd to the gallon was well pleasedQuote:
