reduced fuel economy

[tick]

Got a 1.5dci 2001 clio, fuel economy over journey to work has fell from bout 65mpg to 55mpg!! this is even after changing oil and air and oil filters, drving style hasnt changed, any suggestions as to what might be causing this?

Tempremental trip computer?

May have reset the fuel computer therefore to get your 65mpg back you need to do some more motorway / A Road driving.

if you push it when you get in the car it does a live mpg for you so you can see how much your using when your driving

i reset it every time after i fuel it up, but used to always stay above 60 on my normal drive, now its never about 57!!

what is a remap?

Basically to optimise the settings inside your ECU to give you car more power, more torque and more MPG!

tick, i had my megane 1.9 dci in for its 36000 mile service and it went from doing roughly 47 when driving normally (quite heavy on acceleration) to about 23!!! it took almost 1000 miles to go back up to normal!! went back to the garage cuz i was convinced they had f***ed the car but they just said it was normal for diesels to do that...when u change the oil and filter it takes a while to get back to normal...personally i thought that was an absolute load of b****cks but it has sorted itself out eventually!
