TDi fuel tank range

[Deviousdavey]

Hello fellow Audi pilots....... just wanted to ask a few of you if you wouldn't mind sharing the fuel range of you 1.9 TDi's. I have a friend who says he gets about 630 miles from a fell tank before the fuel light reminder comes on...... i only get about 480 miles......is there a problem with mine (my car has done about 89,000, and my mates is on about 180,000)

Cheers

Mine isn't the same model but I'll post my mileage info anyway.

Full tank to light on is about 280-300miles. The computer says I do just over 30MPG average. I don't drive it that hard, just spritely!

I must admit that I'm a bit disappointed by the economy, but I guess it's partly to do with the quattro system. The car is a 98 A4 2.5tdi quattro, with 115k on the clock.

I think the most i have got out of my old 110 VE is just shy of 700miles, one long motorway journey.

I never fill the filler neck either.

im the same as ini .. i hardly fill up completely but when i have ive got nearly 800 miles before the fuel light comes on.

My average MPG is around 59-62 so its fair to say i dont drive the car in a sporty fashion. I just have the type of roads to do so as ther are far too many road humps where i live ... most miles are to and back from work which is rural so that would explain why i got so much.

I guess it also depends on how you drive as well.

My car is a 1.9 Tdi

Mine is a 1.9TDI 115 and I usually get close to, or a little over 700 mile to a tank, although that includes some running with the reserve light on.
What model is yours Karachi? 100, 115, or 130? 800 sounds very good to me.

at a guess i would say mine is a 110BHP but i cant be for sure as i dont now. i know its a AFN ....

I have to re-assure you that i drive like a taxi man .. my revs are very light which is probably why i get more miles from the car, plus my work route is on rural roads. if it was city drivin then it would be far lower but i would still expect 500 atleast o a full tank. However as diesel is still climbing i need to get a loan before i fill up again !!!

It is the 110 'red i'.

The most economical B5's are the VE 90, then the PD100 & VE 110 pretty much equal, then the PD115.

Auto gearbox or proper 'torsen' quattro reduce mpg further.

(why have i ever only seen one B5 PD100?)
