Car is a 2019 VRS245 at 11000 miles and averages around 32/33 MPG around town.

 

OBDEleven scan shows no faults.

 

We are just about to set off for a week away so I filled up with a tankful of V-Power (cost a bit of a shock!!) . I've done about 18 miles since the fill up.

 

This morning I did my normal Saturday morning journey of around 10 miles and am on the way home when I notice 1/8th of a tank has been used - far more than expected. Normally the needle wouldn't have move at this mileage. after driving home the gauge is showing another 1/8th of a tank gone. That's a total of 38 miles for a 1/4 of a tank. As I get out of the car, I can smell petrol near the rear of the car. Definitely something wrong here.

 

On the phone to Skoda Assist and a VW engineer comes out a couple of hours later, He can't find anything wrong and no petrol smell. He had taken the car for a test drive and gave it some stick. Nothing, nada,

 

The gauge had gone further down than would be expected for a test drive.

 

Could this be a petrol particulate filter regen?

 

Has anybody else seen anything like this?

 

I'm going for another test drive tonight as we are supposed to be driving to Bristol tomorrow and I don't want to take any chances.

 

Thanks for any ideas.

 

It might be cleaning the GPF.

Thanks for this. It looks like it was a GPF regen as I currently do a lot of short journeys where the engine won't get fully up to temp.
