fu94 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I bought my first Audi 3 weeks ago on Friday and I absolutely love it, I haven't drove a car like it in my life and I'm really happy with it, there is a small problem and I'm not sure how to resolve it as I have been searching online with little to no results. I put in enough diesel to get the range up to 300 mile and by the time I got home (at most 6 mile from the filling station) it had already dropped down to 280 miles and then an hour or so later when I drove for roughly ten/fifteen minutes the range had again dropped down to 260 and is now 3 days later sitting at 200 miles left when I haven't done anything close to a hundred miles, I noticed it seems to drop 5 miles from the range ever 2 and a half or 3 miles. I am not sure how to even attempt to solve this as the car is usually in efficiency mode and I try and follow the cars instructions as closely as I can to limit fuel consumption. any help or advice with this problem would be much appreciated as my last resort is to take in to get looked at which I feel no matter what the problem is going to be a costly one.

Magnet Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Hello Cathal, Others more knowledgeable than me will be able to advise with the accuracy of these range computerising on Audis. My experience with non- Audis is that they are guide figures rather than accurate assessments. If it were mine, I would fill the tank to the brim, zero the trip and run it over average driving conditions until the gauge reads around a quarter full. Refill to the brim and calculate the average mpg, but I would not be expecting to achieve 'book figures' consumption. Kind regards, Gareth.
