Just to give you an idea, I've had it for 3 days now, done 200ks, the fuel gauge is a touch under 3/4 of a tank......and that's having some fun in it too!! the trip computer is showing 520km remaining so it's looking good so far.

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Also the economy will get better as the car beds in and loosens up. Allow a few thousand, but don't baby it for the first few hundred, run it in pretty hard, seal those tiny rings!

That sounds pretty spot on especially for a new car.
I bet your fuel economy will get better by 50k's over what your getting now.
I certainly can stretch mine past 600 if I want too every single tank no matter how much I thrash it.
Just depends if I want to have to stop mid trip to fill up when im approaching 600 versus filling up before I hit 600 but only putting 49L in with 6L spare.*Disclaimer - Don't rely on me, seek your own professional advice. Audi R8 E-tron. 230kw 4500nm! (not a typo).

Yeah the harder you drive it the better the rings will seal with any crosshatching thats left on the cylinder bores.Originally posted by cogdoc View PostAlso the economy will get better as the car beds in and loosens up.

If you miss bedding the rings in through thrashing the cross hatching will wear off and you will have piston rings that are looser. Less power, more fuel consumption.
Drive it as if its cogdoc's diesel and not you car eg = thrash it .

Bet ya my TSI makes more noise than your car! no hoodlining, no airbox, custom exhaust.Originally posted by Big Yellow View Post
I have more air intake noises, blow off valve sounds and DSG pops than you can poke a stick at and thats before the turbo/supercharger changeover point!*Disclaimer - Don't rely on me, seek your own professional advice. Audi R8 E-tron. 230kw 4500nm! (not a typo).

Hey Polar bear, gotta love that induction noise aye!!! I had a GTI-R Nissan Pulsar back in NZ with a K&N filter on it and when that Garrett turbo wound up it sounded hornier than a blind man at a peep show!! aaaarrgh!!Tiggy 125TSI, 6 speed manual, tints, comfort pack.Comment

Just make a run to WA. with the TSI 1.4 fuel economy you should make almost 800k's from a tank on the nullabor.Originally posted by Yom View PostNow to keep your job to avoid your Jetta being in reposession!*Disclaimer - Don't rely on me, seek your own professional advice.
