    255 miles from one tank after driving carefully..

    Admittedly, I've only been driving for just over a month, but I'm confident in my ability. I filled my FSI all the way up with 99, and since I have driven as economically as I can. It has been about a week, maybe a tad longer, since I filled up and I have only covered 255 miles and I have...

    Draining tank and replacing fuel filter - misfuelled with 25% petrol !

    Hi guys. I got mixed up with fuel tonight and put in a few litres of BP Ultimate petrol thinking it was Ultimate diesel... realising my mistake I stopped quickly and filled the rest with standard diesel (before starting it) and took the decision to start it and run home just a few miles. It's a...

    70mpg on a tank

    Covered just over 400miles on the weekend and managed 71.2mpg average at a sat nav 63mph. Obviously motorway miles but there was a bit of A and B road in there as well. My TDI A2 75 is completely standard as far as i know. But if i was to do the 5th gear mod, aero pack and maybe narrower wheels...

    Almost had to take out a mortgage to fill with BP Ultimate

    For years I used Tesco diesel, accumulating the points. But when a year ago I started using the car less and doing shorter journeys I thought this might be the reason for the car hesitating at around 2000 rpm when accelerating hard. So for the last year I first tried some injector cleaner and...

    No Fuel at the engine....

    My A2 is having a bad time of it. At the point when I was about to drive my A2 to it's MOT it refused to start. I had a mechanic come and have a look and he diagnosed an issue with the timing belt (it was shot). Having replaced that and the brakes which were also worn we put it all back...

    Webasto Pump causing failure to start engine

    Hello all, It's a long time since I posted but I have knowledge to share that I don't think is too common yet. Last year my TDI engine stopped running, and was almost impossible to start despite the engine turning over on the starter easily and consistently. My choice of garage had a hard...

    Is A2 fuel efficiency really this bad?

    I have a 1.6 FSI Sporin with 17" Audi wheels and 60K miles. The car has full service history and is in great shape as I service regularly and has just had cam belt and vacuum pump changed. I only run it on Shell V-Power. I live in Central London and so all my mileage is short and stop...

    Very interesting MPG experiment!

    I recently read some of the threads on this site about a variety of fuel saving measures that people employ in a bid to go a bit further on each tank full. This is something that is particularly appropriate these days, when a typical tank of fuel is costing between £5 and £10 more than it did...

    I have a very irritating problem with my A2!!! The engine will not stay running when the car is idling, It used to happen only once in a while and I used to think I had just stalled it!
