Hi all, its been a long time since last posting. My petrol 2.0l 2017 L&K estate has been running like a dream for the last 100K miles but now its time to update to a Mk4. I've been waiting for the 2.0L petrol version to be available in the UK, which now thankfully it is. I can't make my mind up as to whether to go for the petrol 2wd or diesel 4wd version.

 

Would anyone be willing to share their consumption figures for either the 2.0L TSI 204PS 2WD and also 2.0L TDI 193PS 4WD ?

Thanks

 

I have the 2.0TSI 4x4 and done about 5k now, the consumption is about 10L/100Km but i have a heavy foot and the acceleration is too much fun

I own a 2.0L TDI L&K 193PS 4WD, and I’ve driven 16,000 km so far, achieving an average fuel consumption of 6.5L/100 km. Previously, I had an MK3 2.0L TSI 280PS, which consumed 12L/100 km. While the diesel doesn’t deliver the same power as the petrol engine, its 400Nm torque ensures a responsive driving experience with significantly better fuel efficiency. I am extremely satisfied with the car.

@Wiggins that is a relevant information. How you stand with the DPF and regeneration? Any issues so far? How is going with the engine oil consumption?

Thanks

The DPF appears to be functioning properly, with regeneration occurring seamlessly and no issues observed so far. Regarding oil consumption, my previous MK3 included a spare can of motor oil upon delivery. It’s a positive sign that this car was delivered without one 🙂 Fortunately, I have not experienced any of the frustrating issues that were characteristic of earlier models .

That is okay. What engine oil they recommended to use in that engine? 

What was the reason t do the switch between petrol 280p.s and 193 diesel?

Only the fuel consumption? 

I have a 193 hp L%K - just done 2200 miles and am getting around 5.4//100km, or 43.5 mpg in old money. It is much more economical on the motorway, returning high 40's to low 50s.

I don't know about towing, still waiting for the software update to unlock the vehicle software to allow a tow bar to be installed

Yes, the primary reason was fuel consumption. I needed to drive more frequently, and diesel proved to be a more practical choice for commuting. However, I still miss my old petrol car. It was incredibly enjoyable to drive   

Thanks everyone, very usefull info.

I have the 190 dsg 4wd estate and the consumption is pretty good. If I drive with no intention to save fuel I never get under 45 mpg. Most times however, in all types of terrain I average about 54 mpg.

If I really put my mind to it I can get 80 mpg average, about 3.5 litres/100 km

On the same trip, 80% motorway and 20% undulating lanes it went to just over 81 mpg

That’s pretty good for a big non ev estate car.

That was using normal grade diesel and not Ultimate.

Did a 250 mile run in my 265 hatch. Cruise set to motorway speed 70 mph.

PHEV - charge every night on low cost tariff. Combined 80 mpg. Approx 60% urban 40% motorway. Tank of fuel lasts a long time as all local motoring is cheap / free due to electric battery & solar panels. Consumption on PHEV best in hybrid mode on A road cross country journeys - regularly >105-110 mpg on 25-30 mile return trips. With no battery, motorway usually returns circa 55mpg alone which is still impressive for petrol engine given size and weight of car. Hope this helps.
