mpg

I‘m considering buying a t6 but am put off by the fuel consumption of 9 litres per 100 km on a van with 4 motion dsg and 204ps. The same model t6.1 with newer 150ps motor seems to do a more respectable 7 litres per 100 km. These numbers are from sprit monitor.de As far as I understand the key...

On Friday afternoon I filled the van with diesel the estimated range was around 495 miles at the garage: as we drove up the M6 to Birmingham the estimated range increase to 640 miles - at one point the range was going up by 5 miles every few minutes. Any ideas why ? I put it down to the warm...

Just drove to South Spain in one go 45mpg @ 80mph with AC full where could, couldnt believe this time how busy all routes were. What a farce at eurotunnel blagged pcr tests and by the time our results were through we were halfway to Paris, not bad will miss the van when home as new one has arrived.

We need to get this signed all Fuel tax petition

A few threads have recommended getting vehicles weighed in relation to both suspension and speed limit issues, but I can't find any results; so here are mine. MY19 T32 Kombi 150 BMT single slider with tail gate. Weighed approx 50 miles before the fuel light came on, empty without driver or...

Hi Guys in 2017 i purchased a New California which i took in at 500 miles to have a tow bar fitted i watched the vehicle not being worked on for over an hour, when i asked i was told software update !!! i asked why and demanded it to be put back as it was and was told sorry cannot do...

on my average mph I have a button on the steering wheel to show 1 and 2 for a adage mpg, which is the one I get my mpg reading from as they are both very different readings - yesterday on a trip the 1 said average 28 and the 2 said 38 mpg. I have noticed a massive difference in fuel consumption...

Hello, I am Andy from the Isle of Mull. We are wanting to buy a transporter panel van, not to be converted to a camper as this will become our only every day vehicle. We are looking forward to having nights out camping in it so will make a simple sleeping platform and will also want to remove...

Hi, looking at a 204, Lots of people have had them for sometime now, what realistically are you getting to the gallon Good or bad spill the beans, steady driver or not lol regards

Hi, I have a 2016 vw t6, I was after it getting remapped, hopefully to the 150bhp and 330 torque. But I'm running on 20inch wheels, 265/40/20. Would it make any difference to my mpg as I've went bigger in tyres, and will the drive be as smooth increasing the bhp on bigger wheels. Might sound...

***PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT AN MPG BRAGGING POST*** I have been a long term sceptic of claims of the T6,s ability to return decent mpg given my inability to get my factory 150 DSG kombi much above mid 30,s mpg during, NORMAL DRIVING. It was claimed and consequently demonstrated by Oli...

I have had my 2017 T6 trendline (150 bhp?) For just over 2 years and 11000miles ( thanks, covid!). I have always filled up at Morrisons, can't recall anywhere else. I know 'they' say to use a branded fuel every so often to 'clean things out'. I last refilled with Shells 'economic' diesel ( not...

Hi, Looking to buy a new t6.1 and wondering if the engine will be revving higher with the 6 speed manual over the 7 speed dsg at 60/70mph. This is where my van will be spending most of its life. also have considered a 4 motion as it will be on muddy roads and fields sometimes is the gearbox...

Just considering lowering my new girl and a question popped up….. does it decrease mpg

I've gone from standard summer tyres 255 45 18 to 235 55 18 general grabber At3 . My mpg seems to have taken a fair hit . Struggling to even get 30 mpg even on a longish Run at 70mph. My van is a 150 Dsg Is this to be expected (normal) when running an over sized heavier all terrain tyre ?

In March 2020 finally got the long-awaited ECU (Engine Control Unit) software update. Unfortunately it took a while to get a good chance to do some measurements to try to figure out what has been changed. So finally a few weeks back dusted the VCDS and collected all kind of intriguing data. The...

Last week I had my T6 serviced, new brakes all round but nothing else special was done to it. On Saturday and Sunday I drove to Leicester for work, down the M1, foggy so took it easy, no head wind, no rush, and the week before same journey, 41mpg, and I would have expected the same or better...

The T6.1 kombi 150bhp pretty good stats on a long journey

Just collected my van from being converted to LPG and thought I should post some photos: The LPG fill nozzle is fitted where the Addblue one is on diesels. 1D884D61-D5D3-4374-83F0-3DD8FFC56701 by Shaun Witts posted 25 Mar 2019 at 18:36 The 84 litre tank replaces the spare wheel...

Hi all. Would value your opinions / comments. 2 weeks in to ownership now and love it - except the fuel economy. Mixed driving - when on a motorway cruise is set to 70. Otherwise gentle driving with a light right foot. Just filled up and worked out my mpg - 26! 2019 Shuttle, 102 5 speed...
