mintalkin Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 from the 2.0 tdci 130 i was getting 44mpg around town and over 50 on a run a few of the common problems are injectors - the delphi injectors are not the mosr reliable and often loose there code or pack up all togeather aux belt - this can start to vibrate,you have to replace the belt and pullys to cure egr valve - these can become choked and give out fault codes, its a simple job to clean but a messy one intercooler hose - these can split creating black smoke and a flat spot at around 1800rpm, its the big hose from the bottom of the egr valve alloy wheels - these can flake because of the brake dust eating into them and because of the weight of the engine front tyres will not last much more than 14000 miles.

mintalkin Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 official fuel figures are 48mpg combined so it about on the mark, if your only getting 30 you may have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
