140 TDI fuel econony

[Aus_fas]

There are not many 140 TDIs out there. Creating a thread to discuss fuel economy. 110 TDI can share too.

I am on my second tank and still avg. 8.5 combined.

People suggested that it will come down after some time. How are your experience so far.

Check the engine oil level frequently, make sure that it doesn't go up on the dipstick.

How long are your trips? Do you drive a lot in the peak hours traffic?

Also, the best fuel economy is achieved in the speeds much lower than 100km/h. I'd say around and max. 80km/h for the Tiguan.
...and every time (almost) your foot is off the accelerator while moving in the gear the consumption is 0.

on a trip with the 130KW sydney brisbane averaged 6litres per 100

How much is on your odometer ?. I have just done 920 now.
Sydney Brisbane on Pacific highway..., is very good.

I am trying to see new Tiguan consumption compared to mine...

I am doing some of these tips but been able to bring consumption down by only fraction 0.4

What's the fuel consumption in L/h when you wait at the traffic light? With the aircon off.

I haven't checked that value, but can report it tomorrow but at traffic light auto stop activates and shut the engine.
Also attached is dip stick . To me the oil level is high

From what I can see on the photo, the oil sits at the upper grove. If this is factory oil, I had the same amount on my 2015 - 130Tdi. First time I checked the oil was next day after picking it up from dealer and was same as yours. It remained the same throughout the year and 11,500kms. After the first service, it was filled properly to upper limit of a mesh-like indicater between the 2 groves. If it exceeds that limit, you could be suffering from oil-thinning which is very bad. Also, you can have a look at the service indicater on the MFD, see how many days are left for oil change and inspection. From day one, should say 365 days / 15,000kms and 730 days / 30,000kms. The oil quality sensor will work out if the car has not been driven to ideal conditions to say and reduce time and kms for inspection interval.

I only got mine yesterday so will report after 1 tank. I'm going to be taking it easy on eco or comfort.

I didn't try on eco as I believe the stats represent normal mode but let's see what you get.
Also my second tank consumption is now 8.1-8.2

Don't try too hard to get the best fuel economy make sure that you don't labour the engine. If there isn't a fault, you should get quite decent fuel economy.

Filled up a few days ago and had a range of 70km left with 690km on the trip clock. Did about 90% in 60-70 zones where you avg about 22-25km/h. My commute to work is 12km.

2nd tank. 690km on fill up with 50km left on range. Avg 8.0l/100km for the tank
