My Mk1 gets to 110kph no probs but has a real struggle to hold it once it gets to a hill.

it would have to be because the ratios on the GTi 5 speed would be way to short for the diesel powerband...

thats pretty good

i think my dads Polo is still getting about 5l/100 around town!

Hi Guys,

I was travelling last weekends on my Passat Wagon 07 TDI from sydney to melbourne. It was able to do 1040km/ full tank (70L) with aircond all the way.

My engine was only 1668km on the clock. It was showing a pretty good fuel
consumption. I am very happy

only cost me $84 dollars for fuel a week in melb (dandenong, st kilda, glen waverly, springvale, richmond, mount martha and boxhill( pickup my jamo before heading home to sydney).

I saved big dollars on air ticket..( 4 persons x airticket). I claimed it all through my company.. business expenses...

I believed it should do more when my engine lose.. I booked for oil and oil filter
change this saturday at Barlworld..(32xxkm)..

wooowoooo

I've just done my first 1000km tank. Got 1040km with 30km to go. Golf V 1.9.

Also got 1090km out of our transporter. From Brissy to Campbelltown via Anna Bay.

Done now 3000km and average fuel consumption 6.4L @ the pump mainly short trips arround Adelaide. Only used BP diesel.

around town i avg 7.5L/100km in my 07 2.0 tdi golf and thats with the powerchip turned off. admittedly i drive it pretty hard but to tell the truth i'm a little disappointed with the fuel consumption... best ive gotten is 830km which included a trip to canberra doing 120km/h (130 speedo) all the way. btw its got 9k on the clock. maybe its time for an oil change? will that help?

my thoughts are with you dude.
I am happy to get my vr6 to 10/100.
It may sound sad but I play a game with myself driving from uni to home I try to get below 10L/100 in a 12.5km journey. if i get 9.5 I am over the moon.

One time at 2:30 in the morning no traffic, from city to parramatta on epping rd I got 7.3/ 100.

For all you ppl with TDI out there, just curious, how much is it for a tank. over 1000-1500km/ tank is amazing. Those are astronomical numbers how I see it.
