I think you are spot on. I just had someone looking into the discs and all of sudden the fuel consumption improved! I still don't know if it has solved the problem, but I can already see a massive improvement. I'll check this as well, thank you. 😊

I know, it's unbelievable to me as well! My parter is paying for the fuel, but I see the receipts every week, and been checking the mileage. We both have busy lives, but almost never leave the home, except for shopping and to do the school run. I guess my next step is to track exactly what's the usage, and report back. I guess my biggest worry at the moment is that my partner does the school run with our 2 children, and if excess fuel is being leaked somewhere, that could be dangerous. I'll take pics of the mileage and fuel receipts to show you nex week, yesterday the fuel tank was nearly empty...

#stonekeeper yes, locking fuel cap/flap works. I also thought about that, since I've move to a new house right about the same time as when my fuel consumption started to rise...

Hi all I've got a Octavia 1.4 TSI petrol Estate from 2011, now with 94k miles.... December last year, took it to a garage for its regular service and within a month the fuel consumption increased dramatically. Now, we use a tank of fuel per week... We drive less than 50 miles per week.. We took the car to 2 different garages, but they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I still haven't taken it to a Skoda Garage. I've serviced the car every year, including a major service every 3 years for the past 8 years. I'm better with computers than cars, so I would appreciate any advice regarding this issue. I'm planning to sell the car if I can't get this fixed since the fuel costs are exorbitant. Thank you in advance

Hi everyone!! I live in the East Midlands and own a Skoda Octavia 1.4 TSI from 2011.
