What mpg do you guys with bitdi get ?
Old engine never got more 800km tank, new engine with dpf removed, egr blank, remap getting close to 1000km.
Sendo what suffix egr you got? Get it blanked or second option replaced with D cooler.
It’s still in the shop looking at overheating problem. Have not had it long enough to use a full tank . Same for the oil usage. Can you tell type of egr from engine code?
Dunno Sendo, but unfortunately likely to be A suffix on early models, T5 2L were upgraded in 2012, generally less engine issues after upgrade but still not entirely, D coolers fitted to last T5 and early T6 in 2015, honestly if you can get your money back do so, if you intervene before oil consumption starts great, if already using more than 1L1000km and you have full dealer service history, then consumption test and compression test and goodwill application.
If I knew what setting to change to post photos I’d send you a photo of egr plaque next to filter ��
Ive taken mine 3/4 way around Australia, best efficiency is at around 90 km/h (or less but is not practical) where I managed to get 1050 kms out of the tank before the warning light came on.
I’ve also set cruise on 135 km/h for hours on end (in the NT) and consumption is a real world 10 L/100 kms, around 800 kms from the tank.
Short trips around town (with engine warming) consumption is not great. Mine is tuned and EGR removed, consumption also depends a lot on driving style.

Hi Kombi
According to this info on EBay I already have a D type cooler.
It’s a Pierburg 7.02756.07.0 with a date on it 24jul17. I’m assuming that is a manufacturing date. So if the egr cooler is only 2 years old , then it’s probably the head gasket that’s leaking. Any way off to the VW diesel specialist next week to see what parts he think I will need to replace to fix the issue. My mechanics has an lpg test done and it was positive for LPG in the coolant.
I have had my engine replaced 😔 i thought it was only the CFCA motors which had the issue??? Call VW up and ask them why ur egr cooler was replaced? Then maybe do an oil test?
What oil temperature are you guys observing? Anyone fitted a oil cooler ?
Bit concerned oil temp my Highline, what I have observed last couple trips.
Towed a medium size trailer the other day with no passengers at 25° ambient temperature, temp rising to 122° at 120kmh, 118° at 110kmh, today 30° outside no trailer, six passengers 110° at 110kmh on open road, even around town never dropped below 96°
Never before had a car with oil temp gauge, maybe ignorance was bliss.
Did first oil change at 5000km on new engine previous weekend, went for a run to warm up oil before drain, ambient temperature was 15° didn’t take long for oil temperature to climb to 120° plus at 180kmh, backed off a bit and temp stayed around 114° at 160kmh in 7th gear (DSG)
