Morning Chaps,
Finally driving around in the meggy that i rebuilt the other week and loving it, but there is deffinetely something up with it, the mpg is very poor indeed.
I could easily get 50mpg out of my 1.9 dci laguna, but even driving like the safest granny in the world, im getting 36 ish. Now i do have the check injection fault, which im putting down to a glow plug but im having fun getting the buggered one out, because its head is damaged and just rotating (great!!) but it never goes into limp mode or anything.
Anything to check that massively affect fuel consumption? EGR??
Drives beautifully, smooth, powerful etc no problems.
I should add its just had a brand new turbo, full service (oil, filters, cambelt, etc) tyres / brakes are all good.
Just sitting there at the traffic lights i can visibly watch the average consumption fall quite badly! No smoke or anything out of the back though.

Re: 1.9dci with a drinking problem
