LPG TSi - MPG

Mine was about 2k

At that mileage/time will take me about 14-18 months to recoup my money, then it’s cheapest medium van motoring ever.

tbh, I just couldn’t live with the costs of running a 21-22 mpg tsi. It was this or it went, I’m super glad I did it.
 
Are my calculations correct I’m saying it’s 22.7MPG @ £0.53/l?
Which, when compared to diesel prices, is brilliant.
 
Have you lost much space with the lpg tank?

Do you still have the normal petrol tank so you can run on that as per normal if there's no lpg around
 
Tank is where the spare wheel is so no reduced space.

runs on petrol as well, if lpg runs out it’s seemlessly switches over

I would say there’s 15% less power on lpg but if I fancy full power I just switch it on petrol then back when I’m done.

i was sceptical about it but it’s pretty awesome.

I guess when your starting point is 300hp, taking a 15% penalty by using LPG is quite bearable!! ;)
 
Might look into this as Im keeping mine long term, only issue is not many pumps around where I live. What do you do with spare wheel as its a pain having to keep that in the bus?

I don’t carry much day to day. Only get filled when I’m racing. So spare sits in the back.

I understand about fill ups, I’m lucky as I have 53pl and 63pl quite close.

IMO as a daily driver lpg was the only way to go.

I was 400 max miles on a tank of petrol.@ £128pl
(About £85 I think)
Now mine does 265 max on a tank of lpg.@ 53pl
(About £28 I think)
 
Hi, do they switch from petrol to lpg once they get warm ? How long would it take to switch over ? I live about 6 miles from my work and I'm just wondering if it would be worth doing.

What kits are people running ?

Does it alter the road tax ?

Cheers

mine takes less than 1 mile to switch to Lpg

mines a Prins

road tax is the same. (I think)

if I lived 6 miles from work I wouldn’t bother, I did it cos sometimes I do 500 miles a week.

I get 230-265 miles on £29 + maybe £3-£5 petrol.
 
Hey guys! Reviving a very old topic, any news here?

I have T6 tsi, manual gearbox on an new prince lpg system.

I was wondering , would a remap (200hp would be by far sufficient, just a bit extra) bring any risks? Would it make the car more full economically?
 
I am still running mine with a remap to about 250hp and running on LPG feels no different to petrol. My van has done just over 60k miles now. My LPG converter did check the stats of the LPG behaviour with the remap, and reported that it didn’t need any adjustment to follow the new map.
 
Thanks that sounds great..

I live in the Netherlands, the mapping you did, is that something specific to an local garage?
 
Yes, a local garage in UK did it for me as well as remapping the DSG gearbox.
The Netherlands seems great for LPG, with most service stations including a pump that works well and is cheap. Here in UK pumps are getting harder to find with many being out-of-service and those that are working run very slowly and the prices vary wildly. Thankfully I completed enough mileage to pay for my conversion, but I wouldn’t recommend it in UK nowadays (unless you do a big annual mileage and are confident of finding cheaper pumps).

Check, so no use to refer to a certain sort of mapping/tune.

Yeah the Netherlands is great for LPG. Europe is still fine as well for the holidays. Good thing is, if I can't find an lpg station, I still have my full blown petrol tank and no biggie.

I just had my engine head revised, had 6 valves which were leaking... Causing misfires while idling and my lpg not to run very well. All sorted out now and ready to really makes some km's :)
