Real world MPG 2.0TDI

[gregpawley]

Hi was just after some feedback on what real world MPG you guys are getting.
I have a S line 2.0TDI fitted with the 19" upgrade alloys, around town get low 30s on a run get low 40s, best I have had so far is just over 45MPG driving from Plymouth to Stanstead, this was mainly at just below 80MPH on cruise with the last 50 miles down to 50 due to road works and 65MPH due to volume of traffic.

The car has done just over 3k miles with a long term average of 38MPG and average speed of 28MPH. I have tried the obvious, tyre pressures, there is no roof rack fitted, tried different brand fuels, running with the cruise control off or on and the different settings on the MMI but all about the same. I tend to be pretty good with what mileage I get, either matching or beating the quoted MPG on my prvious A4 B8 2.0T petrol.

I have spoken to the dealer and he will check with service and advise on Monday, was just hoping from some feedback from yourself.
The other thing I noticed is that the fuel gauge is none linear, there seems to be about 2 thirds the range in the top half compared to the bottom half of the gauge and this is after what fuel has been used in the filler neck etc.

Any feedback greatly appreciated,

Greg.

I would be really interested to hear about this also, just about to buy assuming some others post some reasonable MPG.

vw jetta 57 plate 40,000 miles around town get 37 -39 on a run to manchester got about 47mpg as the A6 is a bigger more powerful car and such low milage sounds about right but may improve as the milage goes up, this is my first diesel car and i was disapointed with the milage thought i would get better mpg but it is mostly town driving i do

Car gone back to the dealers today for investigation, they admit that the MPG does seem a little low and might improve with mileage but going to run some checks.

The run from Plymouth to the dealers (about 60 miles) is mainly fast A roads 40 to 70mph only got 43MPG, on my previous A4 B8 2.0T could get the same or slightly better, will let you know the results.

A6 2.7tdi only just gone passed 11k and i get 34-35mpg round town and 40ish on a run and its auto. my older 57plate A6 2.7tdi would get 40ish round town and 45 mpg or more on a run but manual. on a run in my older car you could get lots more mpg if you was VERY careful. Yours sounds abit low for a 20tdi. The best diesel i had for mpg was my 54 plate mondeo 20tdci 130bhp manual which was only 3mths old when i got it and that did 49 mpg round town and 54mpg on a run doing 80-90ish

Just collected the car from the dealers with no faults found, checked and reset settings?? They have said the MPG will improve with miles, and have have asked me to monitor the mileage.
Driving the car there averaged 43MPG drive back similar speeds got 44MPG so no significant improvements.

The book quotes 47.1MPG Urban, 64.2MPG Extra Urban and 57.5MPG combined.

My Previous A4 B8 2.0TFSI quoted figures was obtainable, I cant see the engine loosening up enough to give anywhere near the book figures, and I am sure was getting better mileage when I fist had the car.

Would appreciate any other figures from similarly specified C7s, would anyone recommend me contacting Audi UK direct to get some feedback from them?

i have a 2009 2.0 tdi. it has now got just over 100,000 on it, wen i bought it i was struggling to get 40 mpg, i had it remapped and i still only manage to get 45 mpg out of it, audis fuel average quoted is a joke i think and is self boosted by them, no 1 i know can get what they say

My 2010 a6 170 tdi manual (35k miles) is drinking diesel. I bought it June 2013 and regularly averaged 50-55 on a long run without too much trouble. Then in November something changed. I don't know what changed but since then I'm struggling to get 40 mpg on a long motorway run at 65 mpg and being very careful through the gears. It's been to audi twice. First time it was serviced and they found no faults. This made no difference so took it back. This time they replaced G450 exhaust gas temp sensor but this has made no difference either (why wasn't this spotted at service?!). I have been monitoring fuel mpg from tank fill to tank fill for ten weeks now and the ave mpg is 37 way below manufacturers claimed figs. I'm about to write to audi to complain as derby audi are now fobbing me off "they're all like that sir" and "the computer says there's nothing wrong with it". "See what happens when the weather warms up" etc.

Any ideas?

I'm very pleased with ours. Performance and economy. It's even more frugal than our old E46 320D manual diesel Beemer. On our 05 plate 2.0 TDI A3 with DSG we get exactly what the book quotes, ie 47 urban, and around 55- 65 on a cruise as long as the trip is of more than 20 miles. These figures are from the OBC so may be slightly optimistic but not too far off. These diesels are not good on short trips where the engine barely gets up to operating temperature. The long term average of our 90,000 miler is 57mpg. I tend to cruise at 70 ish.

Only got 700 miles on the clock but on a run to work and back with economical right foot I get 40mpg fairly easily. Mixed between A road and motorway, with some stop starting due to commuting traffic. Average at the moment though is 36 mpg.
