1.2 16v dynamique MPG

[Jon.G]

Have you checked the diagnostics? (Press and hold the button on the wiper stalk and turn the ignition on)

I never knew about this, ive had mine 3 years and never know it did that. Not really sure what it does but needs move and everything on the display comes up and bongs. randommmm

How do i see my mpg ? Or do i just work it out? Lol also would it be kpg since i use km.

 

[JoeyD]

click the button on the end of the window wiper stalk.
It'll probabaly be in l/km, litres per kilometre or something?

 

[welshname]

the sticker is from "jim parkes tuning" got a phone number on so im going to ring them tomorrow and see what they did to this car.

Thanks, yeh ill have a look tomoz i always use the one where it counts the kms down but im sure all others are blank :s (----).

No smells of petrol, and nothing under the car either, ive cheked everytime.

No idea on service, ive had it for about 6 weeks, came with no service history.

Button on the wiper stalk? I didn't think it has one, ill try tomorrow though.

Dude cheak the fuel filter, and all that and make sure they're not leaking, even just a bit.

You be able to average 40+ mpg in a 1.2 anyway, I magaged 55mpg once in my 1.4 early last month, had to really drive carefully to do it tho

I'm getting between 44 and 52mpg in my 1.2 16v.. that is calculating it manually as well not with the trip computer... most of my miles are motorway but that's at 65-70 so its still pretty good!

jesus man 32 mpg on a motor way i get between 32-35mpg in my 172 cup drivving about town and thats giving it some every know and then.

 

[Brett]

36-38 mpg was average for me. compared to about 32 in my ph1 172. Motorway in the 1.2 was probably around 45-48 @ 70mph compared to 40-44 in the 172.

 

[welshname]

there must really be something wrong with mine then. rang the place for whom the sticker is on my engine bay, apparently they only put a battery in.

im thinking new air filter, spark plugs and maybe oil change?

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

Mate best thing u can do is plug it in will show you whats wrong

full service will help you out

Oil change, filters, plugs, tyre pressue
If it was mine i would be adjusting the handbrake and cleaning the brakes to make sure

could be a number of things causing very low mpg

 

[tommys]

What does that diagnostic check actually do? I tried it out to just see what happens.

Just alot of movement and noises?

 

[Dean Mac]

i drive to Salford uni which is Greater Manchester. On the M62 i achieve 43MPG-ish in my 1.4 16v.

In the fast lane i was doing 100MPH and it averaged 40 MPG no lower than 39.

 

[Ben]

In my 1.4 8v I'm getting around 40-43 MPG and thats with me using a MPG calculator with the amount of fuel used (full tank to empty) although I'm guessing my open cone air filter isn't helping a great deal so gonna get that swapped back to standard.

 

[Kane.]

I dont have a mpg on car or anything similar does any one know if its just with it being lhd ?

 

[Ben]

No I don't have it on mine either, I have to work it out :/

 

[Kane.]

Mines ph2 though? Might be because its the earlier 2002 model.

 

[RSteve]

Mine averages about 41

 

[Harpham]

My old 1.2 16v used to average 50+ mpg combined... That was with proper granddad driving though!

 

[Englebert]

Used to get 40mpg easily, so must be something wrong with the car or your driving! Coil pack went on mine..don't know if would affect anything whilst on it's way out?

 

[welshname]

well its been getting worse. but today i put a full tank of V power in and ive just gone from averaging 29mpg, to 38 on a trip to and from liverpool. and thats with some aggressive driving and some normal driving, on both motorway there and b roads back.

is vpower really that much better???

 

[K1NGY]

Currently 36... have got it in the 40's before
