Get it serviced maybe?


I'd love to see 22 average lol

mine used to run on average around 31 mpg and that was putting the foot down sometimes as well

Get it looked at, could be one of three things:

An iffy sensor somewhere (which should bring up a fault code)
Needs a damn good service
You're right foot is lead lined.

My ph1 would average 38 MPG or so.

Lambda? That looks after fuelling etc, best way is to swap the two around (cat and per cat) see if that makes a difference.

^^Also the CTS can cause bad fueling

are they both the same lamba as il get them swapped over if they are??

If it were the lambda it wouldn't run great either.

Where do you drive it, for how long etc?

Mine is pretty terrible in short runs in town of around 1.5miles to 2miles as it never properly gets warmed up. Just changed my Lambda and it's improved slightly but not a lot, mid 20's at the moment (was lower 20's at best, only done a week or so of it yet though). If I let it get warmed up around (and just outside of) town then that climbs quite easily to around the 30 mark and a decent run out will pull over 30 easily. On the motorway I probably average about 35mpg, but if you've got the patience and can be bothered staying sixty or under for a good long journey will easily see 40+ on the computer and I've seen a 48 once (though how accurate this is I've no idea).

CTS?? Whats this please

Still have bad fuelling issues though, fail

Coolant temperature sensor

You get any outcome from these problems mate?

Mine needs servicing so hoping my drop in MPG is only down to that and not something else...
