Seems like the injectors were clogged up by bad care by previous owner. I have purchased the below product already. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Archoil-AR6900-D-Max-Advanced-Diesel-Fuel-Synthesis-1-Litre/371680538135?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Should I use this product with supermarket fuel or BP Ultimate Diesel? Also can I know about the tyre pressures. A member wrote "

Hi everyone, Thanks for the great input & ideas. I have always kept my tyre pressure at 32 bar on all 4 tyres. Is this wrong? I also contacted a ECU remapping guy who told me to run the car on super diesel for 2 full tanks & check if there is any difference in fuel consumption. Surprisingly the car which was doing 27 Mpg on city running & 35 Mpg on motorways has improved to 34 Mpg city & 42 Mpg motorway respectively on my first full tank of BP Ultimate Diesel. With regards to the thermostat, the car warms up within 20 mins of running to the half point on the dash meter & stays at that point. With regards to the timing belt change, the garage is quite experienced to this kind of jobs & I even saw them using locking pins when doing the timing. So I believe the timing is correct. Hope so.

Yes, I did a full service which included new oil, new air filter, New oil filter & also new diesel filter.

It is the 1.9 TDi. Tyre pressures are 32 Psi which I check on a regular basis. Tyres are moving freely which eliminates the sticking calipers. This one also does not have a DPF. So cannot be a clogged DPF either. I usually pump 52 litres which is almost a full tank as I can see fuel upto the filler hose top. When there is about 50 miles remaining, I pump another full tank which is exactly another 52 litres. 52 Litres will get me around 350 miles on city running & around 390 miles on a gentle motorway drive. The mileage is 126498 miles. I have attached a picture of the car tag inside the boot which gives most info. Thanks for your replies.

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum. But have been following the forum for the past year & one of the reasons I purchased a Skoda was because I saw how active the members were in helping each other. I am a cabbie driving a 2008 Skoda Octavia DSG which I purchased 2 months ago for my work. As soon as I purchased the car, I changed the timing belt with tensioners, water pump & pulley. I also did a full service with the change of diesel filter as well. My fuel economy was so bad, I thought it was a gearbox issue. So I took it to a gearbox specialist & changed the DSG gearbox oil with the filter. My gearbox is very smooth when it changes gears & I do not think it has any gearbox issues. With regards to the engine, it starts every time, first time even if I leave it for a few weeks & start. It also starts on the first turn even when on cold mornings where the temperature can be minus very early in the morning. I get 25-27 Mpg on city running without heavy traffic being on the road. If i take it out on the motorway, I get max 35 Mpg. I have got this figure after 3 full tanks of running & not based on the dash information. I have hooked it up to many Snap-on diagnostic machines & no fault codes show. There is no warning lights also on the dash. It drives smooth & all seems to be fine apart from the fuel consumption. I have heard that these engines are good on fuel. This was another reason I purchased this car. Is there any advise you good people here could give me as I seem to fill up most of the time due to doing high miles & this is costing me quite a lot of money. Kind regards Jerry
