Loss of Power and MPG....in 182

[Magicman]

Just a quick question. I have had my 182 now since January and all has been fine. MPG average 35 etc etc. Last week that dropped to 27mpg and I have lost some power there as well. Speaking to the dealer today but just wondering if anyone has any Ideas..... :S

Problems with my cat caused similar symptoms, but it could be anything. Dodgy fuel?

Weather is getting slightly better now, means roads are a bit more forgiving when pushing on...heavier right foot per chance?

Tesco's yes but 3 weeks ago.......

That's probably the answer, that's when all the dodgy fuel stories started appearing!

Water levels are fine, it could well be the Tesco's petrol but thought it would have raised its ugly head by now being 3-4 weeks later......

Check your spark plugs, coil pack etc.

The price of oxegen sensors are through the roof (that's if you can get, or need one) If it is through silicone , I hope you have kept your petrol receipt. Supermarket sh!te
