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.

Some stats from my new 2.0L TDI 110 kW L&K Estate (2500km so far), eco mode:

highway, 125-130 km/h (80mph) -> 4.5 L (52 mpg)

more aggressive drive with a lot of the turns, open road outside of the city, sport mode, 70-90 km/h -> just around ~5 L (~47 mpg)

driving in the city with a heavy traffic and a lot of start-stops-> somewhere around 7L, but it really depends on everything

I would say it can easily go even below 4 litres on the highway if you are driving relatively slowly, around 110 kmph.

2.0 TSI 265, still in break-in period under 2000km.

Light city traffic 10l/100km or ~28mpg

Mixed 7-8l/100 35-40mpg

Winter + heavy city traffic might hit 12-14l/100km 20mpg if not more, we'll see.

No surprises overall, not too far from B58 but only in consumption :)

Have to say, I'm pretty impressed with the consumption on mine - 2.0TDi 193PS 4x4 - so far (a little over a month in). Even just pootling around locally I'm getting an MPG of low to mid 40s ; and I managed this last Sunday...

We did a nice drive out this afternoon in the sun and 5 degrees c

33 miles, mainly A roads with maybe e through Chippenham very little traffic as you’d expect today. 54.2 mpg. Not bad I’ve less than 1200 miles on my superb estate 150 TDI SE L. I had hoped for a bit more and maybe 63+ when it’s ran in at about 7/8/k miles or so.

No complaints it’s a very nice drive providing I remember to switch off lane assist as pull off.

My 67 plate Passat 2.0tdi achieved 63 average in Winter 68+ in Summer and 65 over the last 12 months I owned it.

The Superb is a bit heavier and with the emission “improvements “ I was still hoping to average only a couple of mpg less long term.

^^^ Amazing. do you never do short trips with the engine staying cold and not up to an efficient temp & just getting the 30 mpg or so that others might get, if you do you must often be getting the 80 plus mpg to have an average like that.

I only ever get approaching 80 mpg on a journey of mostly free running motorway, but I can still get 60+ mpg on undulating winding roads.

It takes a lot of concentration though, neutral down slopes (eco mode or doing it manually) coasting up and down over again, extremely light throttle etc, and it works. It doesn’t mean holding up traffic either, always pretty much up to the speed limits. And this is the 4x4 that’s supposed to be less efficient than the 2wd. I had the 2wd before and I never or rarely got over 70 mpg. If I revert to what I’d call normal driving then it’s down to anything from 40mpg to low 50’s

An average of over 60 mpg over a year is quite something. every mile and every liter counted to get 63 mpg average.

Most of my mileage is 20 plus miles each way or greater. Longer runs a couple of times a month.

Very few “domestic” short runs 2 a week at most, on average, I’m not in a hurry and try to avoid peak hours (I’m retired and it’s travelling for my hobbies mostly).

I have a 150 TDI SEL estate, earlier this week I drove from the south coast in West Sussex to North Yorkshire in wintry conditions with ambient temperatures between -4C and +3C. I had the ACC set at an indicated 70mph where appropriate and had a couple of roadworks and some congestion to deal with.

Starting with a full tank of diesel I did 334 miles and after that the dashboard said my car had 570 miles of range left giving a total of 904 miles on a tank of diesel. (The app said 60.1mpg average). I don't think that's too bad for such a big car and I was just driving normally.

That’s quite good for those temps. Were you carrying any weight other than yourself, passangers luggage or a spare wheel and Jack ?

How many miles on the clock and has consumption improved over time?

More info

Just me and a passenger, we did have 2 large suitcases in the boot and there's no spare wheel.

My car has done just over 12,000 miles, it did improve slightly as it got more miles on it but dropped about 5mpg on my usual 45 mile commute in November and December, which I'm assuming was due to colder temperatures and winter mix diesel.

Thanks, that sound good going forward, I’m only at 1,500 miles about 2,500 km. Plenty of time to loosen up👍
