I Have had a chance today to go for a good long run In SWMBO's new a2. 1.4tdi 75 sport. On the same run in her old passat 130 pd with the same driving style I would have got 60. I only got 64? I know this is only on the DIS but still a valid comparison and i was expecting more.
I know all the obvious stuff as I regularly hyper mile my Octavia 4x4 (51 best ever, 40avg) so car has just had cam belt, oil and filter(pd oil) and air filter. Tyre pressure was a bit low on the fronts at 29 and 30 on the rears, so I know that will have had an effect. It's on 205/40/17's. I have a set of 15's and 16's coming soon an tyre choice will be narrower and +1-2%.
What other things do I need to start looking at? Car is standard so no obvious boost leak sounds under load (really obvious when the Octavia is having issues. Boosts to 21psi ).
At 87k should I be looking at cleaning the EGR and inlet manifold? Did the passat at 105k.
