Hi All

Anyone with a 1.3 CDTi 90 what sort of MPG do you reckon you are getting. I have the plus pack fitted so have the onboard trip, I think it's telling me lies as it never goes over 39MPG. I now have 760 miles on the clock so it must be getting about run in.

I reset the trip last time I filled up and I will calculate the MPG manualy to see what I am really getting. Just wondered what you guys were getting in your and can you get anywhere near Vauxhalls claimed 60MPG (I know you have to drive like grandma to do that!)

In all honesty I think you'll have to put a LOT more miles on the clock before you start getting optimum MPG.

I've had my 1.7cdti 3 months now and the MPG is slowly improving but nowhere near the figures quoted.

Friends I've spoken to say it took their various makes of diesels a few thousand miles before the engine settled in so stick with it but expect a good 6 months of motoring before the old diesel engine beds in.

i worked mine out the other day i was getting about 45 mpg and that was with about 650miles on the clock but i am telling the car who's boss,

I've got just over 2,500 miles on the clock, and I'm getting about 125 miles to £10, whatever that is. I get more on the motorway, and about 100 miles for £10, if I rag it a bit.

Ive done 4500 miles and still get 39mpg doin urban driving

ive got a petrol and im getting 280 miles to a tank cost me £30 to fill a tank o and iv got 12000 mile on my car

 

[koro_guitarist]

I get atleast 400 miles per tank, and that's about £40 for it.

I usually get it down to half full, then fill it back up again though, so it's only £20 a pop.

thats good

I think it's quite bad. I used to get atleast 150 miles for £10 in the old C, and that was ragging it a lot too!

I haven't checked anymore, but I know the main lights on mine are H7. I'm yet to have another look to see what the others are.

Apparently, the full beam's a H7, so if that's the case, I'll use the H7's I bought before, and put them in.

my 1.3 90ps loan car is as bad as the 1.4 i had before getting about 280 to a tank tho there is only 1000miles on it. The mpg figures quoted by vaux are utter sh1t. my 1.7 was woeful as well

 

[Missing_pilot]

the newer engines need a few thousand miles to bed in.. for some reason some might need upto 10k.. :\

Mines just about to turn 50k on the clock (1.7 CDTi C) and i have currently got 550miles out of a tank.. with a little left!

You just need to be patient with the engine as it beds in.. the more miles on the clock the better the mpg will become.
But it also depends if you alot of urban driving or motorway stuff too..

 

[SamP]

Just woked out my MPG. Done 296 miles on a full tank and worked out the MPG to be approx 35 MPG.

Pretty bad really, however I have been drivin it hard this last week. Will take it steady and see what it returns this week.

TBH.. i found the 1.3 curtesy car i had when my C was having the fuel pump replaced just DRANK fuel.. 90miles to a 1/4 tank :| (thats with nearly 8k on the clock..)
My 1.7 does 110 to a 1/4 without trying.. :\

But it might take a ALONG time to break the engine in to get its best MPG, but knowing the best millage is unknown as every engine is different!

 

[Jonny_SXi]

I just got 138 miles out of half a tank in my 1.3 90ps but to be fair it was a hard 138 miles.

 

[koro_guitarist]

I got roughly 450 miles out of my tank going to Edinburgh and back at the weekend.

Which is maybe 51MPG? Who knows.

 

[Missing_pilot]

i asked my dad about whats the best milage to break in a derv engine.. he went "100,000 miles.. :lol:"

As i said i just passed 50k.. he said "thats nothing!" :|

 

[karl-cdti125]

i spoke to my gf dad about this and he said after a 1000 miles if your not getting optimum millage you must me ragging it about!

he is a mechanic so he got a good knowlege on cars

Got to disagree my last 1.7 cdti C only started coming good after 10K up to then i was getting about 40 after it was an easy 50 even when ragged!
