A900

Hi Gareth, Thanks for your detailed reply. I wouldn’t say I drive slowly, but when I do try to get good efficiency it doesn’t happen. In terms of MPG I was going off the trip, but 18 mpg is very very bad. I have put this on quite a few forums so I am keeping an eye on all and will update each accordingly. Interesting to hear about this set test at Audi. Do you have any more information about this and what they do? The last recorded owner was actually Volkswagen UK! I assume it was a staff car in their Milton Keynes head office. If I can’t get to the bottom of this mpg issue, I think I am going to go for an S3 where 18-25mpg is justified lol. Thanks.

Hi Steve, Thanks for your reply. I did actually ask Audi about the emissions update when it went in for the service and they said it “didn’t have the update as it wasn’t affected” (it is a November 2015 build so I didn’t think it would have been affected). Is there any other way for me to check or verify that it hasn’t had the update aside from taking Audi’s word for it? Other forums have suggested using Redex to see if that can improve my mpg, so I will give that a go and will keep this post updated.

Hi guys,I have an A5 2.0TDI Quattro 190PS Black Edition Plus, November 2015. I bought it second hand from Audi with 8000 miles on the clock in January 2017. It is killing me on fuel!! I am getting around 200-240 miles per tank (60 litre tank) and no I do not floor it constantly. At it’s first service which was around 3 weeks ago I told Audi about my fuel efficiency. They did a diagnostics check and checked for any leaks and said it was all fine! They put it down to cold weather (even though the mpg has been awful for the whole year!), my driving and stop start traffic driving conditions. I got a remap put on the car last week in an attempt to help the fuel efficiency but it’s literally the same and hasn’t helped.This is not right, has anyone experienced anything like this? If anyone could point me in the right direction I’d be very grateful! Thanks in advance.
