Poor MPG, advice needed

[garying3980]

glow plugs warning light came on while driving and message ENGINE WORKSHOP came on what could this be ? had MAF and water pump replaced last week , one of the reasons it went in in the first place was poor fuel consumption 20 mpg for 1.9 130 bhp tiptronic 54 k on clock car drove much better but fuel consumpion still crap , but need to drive 200 miles to day will it be ok ? light went out again and has not been on again car drives great

thanks

20mpg !!!! how sure of this are you - have you done a physical / manual check by filling the tank driving and filling again?

Is it smoking at all ?

Are you sure you don't have a fuel leak?

Does your oil level rise?

Is your exhaust wet inside?

I get better MPG out of my W8 !!
