Swearwolf Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 not sure how much i trust the on board computer but hey 2.0tdci (its a cmax but theres much more responses here) reporting 22.4mpg on trip computer well serviced by me, often do shorter journeys but usually up to 10-20 miles a time most days. used bg244 (whichever diesel verison is) made no odds no DPF model any idea?

F0CUE Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 There is a suggestion in the cmax forum to disconnect the minus battery for 15 minutes so the ecu can do a relearn just be careful to have your radio codes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicam49 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Have you tried resetting/zeroing the mpg and trip miles counters? On my mk3 Mondeo the mpg is a cumulative figure and if you just let it run on it can become quite low. You need to frequently reset both mpg and trip miles esp. After filling up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 40mpg would be bad for these, you can't possibly be doing 20mpg in reality. Either the trip computer is faulty, or it's smoking like mad, or there's a trail of raw diesel everywhere you go! I struggle to get my 2.0 TDI below 50mpg even on a 2 mile Tesco trip! Haven't you had this issue for months now? You'd know if you were putting in that much fuel!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only so much air available in the cylinders...if it's not leaking and it's not smoking, where else can it go!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
