Thanks gents. We were going pretty slowat the weekend, 60-65mph, so thats why his economy was so good .... and why mines looks so poor! Because of the previous fault (i.e. the turbo was all blocked with crap), could that be causing the issues / bloccking something further down the line? Cheers

Picked up an Octavia L&K 2.0 TDi 140 in July second hand (24k on the clock), and after leaving the garage I discovered a turbo fault (it was cutting out and leaving me powerless). Garage fixed it, and I've been motoring away fine, although I thought the mpg was very low (c45mpg average). The cars now done 32k, and if anything the economys getting worse. It doesn't sound great either. Father-in-law has an elegance of the same age with the same engine, and we went a trip at the weekend, where I basically followed him for approximately 70miles. We stopped and I checked his fuel economy. On the same journey he had average 56mpg, and I had average 44.5mpg! :thumbdwn: I'm only getting about 400-450miles from a tank of fuel, and I'm not sure why. I asked the garage, and all they would say is "the computer says its fine". I'm spending a fortune on fuel, and ideas what it could be? What I could do? :confused:
