Poor MPG on B6 140 Sport Estate

Post by Prophet »

Hi all,

I have just replaced my 2003 130bhp Sport TDi estate which had 160k on it, with a 2006 B6 140bhp Sport estate with 77k on it. The old one was giving me about 55 to the gallon, whereas the new one seems to be only returning 45. Is this normal? I assumed the newer 2 litre would be a bit more efficient.

The old one had standard 16" alloys and the new one has 17". Would that make any difference?
