Hello,

Just a quick question. I recently bought a 170 quattro avant and find it heavy on the juice. I only get 31-35mpg and once had it up as high as 40mpg. Is this normal? I also find it has alot of fumes when sitting idling. Not smoke as such just the smell of fumes.
I just sold my 130 tdi golf and the wife drives a 140 tdi a3 and they would do 50-60 mpg and find there is a huge difference.

Also does anyone know what a 3.0tdi mpg is like as my mate is planning one and when i was looking for a Avant the garage told me that i would get 40mpg in the 3.0. Is this right when i only get 31-35 in a 2.0 170?
