Fuel consumption after timing belt change

Followers

October 24, 20205 yr

Hello,

2 weeks ago i had all belts, water pump and thermostat changed on my 2.5 tdi V6.

The car runs fine but the average fuel consumption who is normally around 7L/100km, 8.1L on a summer motorway trip with A/C running, was 10L/100km when I last refuelled. I always fill the tank and reset the daily counter so that I can always divide the number of liters i put by the daily counter kms to get the real consumption.

It echoes to me that something could have moved during the belt change and the pump out of sync slightly.

Do you mind to look at these VCDS screenshot and tell me if something isn´t right ?

Many thanks in advance !

Hugo

Hi. Just arranged a mini road trip to the West Country. Day 1. Travel To St Austell to stay overnight in 16th century pub. Stopping at Exeter Services for a recharge. Day 2.

Possibly stopping at Fleet or Cobham Services for a quick charge. Might not sound much but it just takes a bit more organising t

Hi, I was wondering if I could have any help please. Mechanic took a look and said chain was fine but in my opinion I think he was not a good mechanic as he decided to fill it with thicker oil. Video below. https://youtube.com/shorts/x1v2CPiySVU?si=GSoD6IpuXaJpE3Lu

One-touch window failure

Stavros · May 29May 29

Hi there - i checked through all the pages related to A5 but didn't see anything on this topic on issues with the one-touch open/close function. I have an Audi A5 Cab B9/F5 40 TFSI S line (pre-facelift) and on the cabriolets, you have 4 switches, one for each window, plus a 5th master which does all the windows at the same time. Each switch has the one-touch operation. The rear window switches and the 5th master switch work up/down with one touch no problems. Problem I have: The front window

Alternator failure related to mild hybrid system?

PocketsAintEmptyCuh · October 16, 20232 yr

I've been seeing more and more posts across FB and multiple forums about people having the alternator failure related to the 48v mild hybrid system and wanted to see if anyone has had this issue and how their experience has been. I know in USA they have announced a TSB with an extended warranty for 7 years but I am trying to get more info from Audi UK but not getting anywhere. Has anyone had this issue and if so has Audi fixed it (if out of warranty)? It seems to be tha

A3 uncommanded engine shutdown

Bobs dad · yesterday at 12:43 PM1 day

I have a new A3 Black Edition auto. Within four weeks of delivery the engine cut out whilst driving, the drivetrain under positive power. The car rolled to a complete halt, the retardation entirely commensurate with the wheels driving a dead engine - it did not freewheel. The instrument panel remained powered and displayed no warning lights or fault messages. I shut the car down and after a pause restarted. Since then it has operated normally. The Distributor has found no data supporting t

I’ve had these wheels since I sold my old 2004 Allroad many years ago & now they’re just in the way, so if anyone wants them, they’re available in Weston-super-Mare! they were refurbished after I bought them, I used them as my summer wheels. I know 1 wheel had a chip in the lacquer, but that was it, they’ve been undercover in the garage ever since I Sold the car, So should be pretty much the same. free to collector if no takers I’ll have to scrap them.

Dear all. I have recently purchased a japanese Import 3.0 A6 Avant allroad. The MMI shows FM, AM and LW but no DAB. Is/was there an upgrade available from Audi or aftermarket when DAB became more commonplace.(Vauxhall offered DAB upgrade for my 2014 Zafira in 2015).

Audi A4 B9 Avant 2016 TDI > Brake pad wear sensor message

letsonk · 6 hours ago6 hr

Hi can anyone help with this. I'm looking to code out the 'brake pad' wear limit reached message on dash. I managed to eliminate the orange brake light symbol when the message appears along with the audible by changing the long coding on VCDS but does anyone know where i can delete the message aswell on VCDS? New pads & discs fitted and also new genuine brake wear sensors but there seems to be that there might be a fault somewhere so im looking to de code it completley. See picture below
