with a full tank im doing 250 miles to a full tank, nice easy driving localy, ive noticed people  can do 350+ in theres
wondering if they could be something wrong with my car? 

would i gain any extra on a remap? is it worth doing

i have a fabia vrs 2004
egr delete, recent serviced, runs good no problems

thanks

I get double that!  250 miles to a tank must be only about 25mpg based on a 10 gallon tank?!  

hmmm... will there be something up with it? maybe if i custom remapped it will i gain a extra 100 mile lol 

Coolant needle reaching 90 bang on fine?

Defo got a leak lol?

yes mate car runs fine, warms up fine aswel

I wouldn't map it if it isn't running properly dude! 

Defo got a leak lol?

cant smell any diesel and no marks on tarmac to say theres a leak lol

What is the car saying the long term mpg is?  (select average mpg, then hit the button under the stalk to select "2")

that sounds **** poor bud, what sort of mileage are you doing daily? not teaching you to suck eggs but diesels aren't the best if your just going 2-3 miles every day, they only really become economical if you can give it a proper journey, I would try filling the tank an go for a 100 mile sensible drive up a motorway, see it that changes the mpg!

28.2

yeh im off york on friday, ill fill it to rim and seen what i get think its about 120 mile trip

28.2

 

They normally average 45-55mpg on the display.

 

Mine did 53.

just noticed where your located, probably due to those mental hills and valleys you have down there! lol

All normal driving mixed together.

lol yeh it is kinda up and down 

I'd be disappointed with 28.2 from a 2.0 petrol turbo!

 

PS: why does your profile say car is "golf anni" ?

had a golf anni when i first registered on here,

any ideas how i can get some more mpg out of the car

Service, and check maf is ok. Both of those upped by mpg or seemed like it did straight after. Also, check your tyre pressures regularly, that can add a few on.

how can i check if maf is ok? doesnt bring any faults on dash? could it still be faulty even if there is no faults on dash

That does sound very poor, my old Type R and VXR used to do about that and both were modified!

 

If you’re doing a lot of short stop start journeys and the engine isn’t getting chance to warm up then mpg takes a nose dive but even 28MPG sounds poor. I do short journeys during the week and I see at worst mid to low 30s.

 

There are some basic things you can do/check that could improve mpg...

 

Are the tyre pressures are correct?
Brake pads aren’t rubbing and the wheels spin freely?
Wheel alignment is straight?
Air filter is clean, free from debris and the front intake pipe isn’t blocked?
When it was last serviced, was the correct PD oil used? (Very important not just for mpg)
Tried running some FORTE diesel treatment through the system? Very good stuff and worth a try.

 

If the above don’t improve things then I’d get someone with a code reader or VCDS to see if that brings anything up.

tyres all fine i check regulary

all service parts was changed around 2k miles ago,

wheel alignment -pulls to one side,

ill try the treatment tmoz and clean the are intake,

ive put a obd reader on, only fault came up was the egr because ive blanked it, needs mapping out 

Scan with VCDS to see if any sensors up the spout.  This is why I asked about the coolant temp sender as symptom of that being a dud is poor fuel consumption.  Also check tyres evenly inflated to 32 (ish) PSI.  Maybe check tracking all OK too?
