MK4 GTI 1.8T fuel consumption????

Hiya peeps, I've just took ownership of a MK4 Golf 1.8T,
it's four years old and has 17k on the clock!!!
Now what is the average fuel consumption for a car like this,
i'm getting around 30mpg when driving steadily!!!!
Is this the norm or is it a little high????

Cheers peeps, Basssound

 

just going off the on board computer after jumping in customers cars 20-37 seems the normal display.

having not owned one can't say, 2 things that do go wrong that effect MPG is the engine temp switch & the airflow meter

 

Depends what kind of driving you do. I know people who get just around 35mpg with motorway driving but its far less with town driving.

 

I averaged around 20mpg when i last went out in a Leon Cupra 1.8T (mmmm one day it will be mine) at work but being as i don't get to use it that often i was ragging it away from every set of lights

 

i average about 30 - 35 mpg.

 

HI BASSSOUND, that sounds a bit high, I get around 35 MPG in daily driving but it has gone down to 16 /17 at Castle Combe.

 

i manage 26mpg 30 is a dream wit my lead foot worst ive ad is bout 19mpg car is standard

 

Cheers for the reply chaps, I manage to get 34mpg
when driving like miss daisy now. It goes down to 24 when
I wind it up on the striaght roads!!!!

Take it this is normal!!

 

I average 30mpg in mine, 38 is my best ever on a run to heathrow and back

 

Any less than 30mpg for normal driving and its a fair bet your MAF is goosed! Approx 75 for an exchange MAF from VW! Count your lucky stars it is now an exchange part as they used to be 250!!

Ps - I normaly get 35~mpg average! my record low on live readout is 4.7mpg whilst booting it

 

Ive got a mk3 16v and im getting 38 average (That is driving, shall we say economically) If i blast her im getting about 25.

Not bad really

 

my mum gets 40 - 45 lol, but then she never goes about 3000rpm, bit of a waste really, i have to rag my 1.4 mk3 to keep up with her and she gets 40mpg and i get about 25!!

 

If you want economy get an oil burner Those owners are always banging on about their 50 mpg etc ! I find it hard to average much better than 30 mpg from my 1.8T no matter how carefully I drive so I think I might as well boot it and have a smile on my face !!

 

yea average 27-33 for me. best ever is 41 and ive had it remapped.

 

also for my s3

 

I get around 27 mpg driving like my mum ,mostly short jurneys 1-5 miles occasisonal 25 mile drive, is this about right?

I think my maf may have had its day though !

I have a vag scanner cheap thing off flebay but it dosn't pick up maf. i don't want to buy a maf to find its a waste of money

I was getting 21-23MPG but i cleaned the air inlet sensor nr the throttle boddies, again this didn't come up on vag scanner just a lucky guess. I sprayed maf with carb and choke but not sure if it worked, didn't seam to do any thing.

any ideas
