Yeah no sh17.
you aint getting 38+ mpg I couldnt care less what your claiming.
like I said my own car thats diesel cant even do that.
so until my own car can do that plus my pajero which is edc and the later 4d56 thats common rail then I believe it.

ok heres a better 1 for you.
maybe this fits it a bit better pmsl.
ok I have 2 business,  1 side plant machinery.
I go everywhere.
When at exeter the company gives me a car to use.
its a electric toyota prius.
I have a 11 mile drive back to the hotel.
on way to hotel I get fantastic numbers.
its all down hill.
Thats the only way you ever gonna get 38mpg.
fact.
You got to understand that mitsy latest 2.5 engine is common rail which is way more economical than yours and that get these numbers so please tell me, how the hell do you expect me to believe you get 38+ mpg.

I personally feel you worked it wrong and wont back down.
I bet your speedo reads in km like I said, you worked it out like that but dont want to be wrong.
ive fitted l200 gearboxes into shoguns and vice versa, it does nothing for your economy niether your speedo.

[jimmybond]

That dont get these numbers.
sorry, missed the dont out.

[scarecrow243]

right someone said drive a knwon distance and see if the trip reads the same well it bludy dose from my qth too a garage in dundee is six miles thats what the trip milage said it was  ps i have lived on this farm from 2009 and that six miles aint changed no matter what motor i have had

[jimmybond]

I aint disputing your miles its your mpgs.

Im sorry if it offends you but I aint accepting your getting 38+ mpg
not unless your using white diesel figures but running on red.

my pajero at 30 mpg id be chuffed.
not even my van gets that which is 2 wheel drive.

[scarecrow243]

it dosent offend me at all  as i have said from the start i dont know if anything was done to the motor before i got it i have put in a new clutch  and a gearbox from an l200 the revs sit at 2500 at 50mph its the same as others  have said  as for the mpg i am only saying what i put in and the distance traveled

[White Elephant]

MPG and pence per mile or pence per litre are different measurements. If cheaper or alternative fuels were used that would not massively affect MPG, which is fuel used over distance. But it would affect pence per mile if 'red' or another cheap fuel was used.

I prefer to use pence per mile when calculating my vehicles fuel costs. Mrs Whites diesel sharan does us about 10p a mile, depending on how she drives, which is around 50-53 mpg. But as pump diesel price is fluctuating it's difficult to fix the figure.

I haven't worked out the truck yet, still calculating... But I can tell you it's roughly twice the cost. Something like 25mpg but it feels like more.

38 would be great wouldn't it? World peace too  

[peteinchad]

My 2.8 costs about 30p per mile in fuel - which is horrendous!!

[scarecrow243]

guys and girls diesel price is lower than petrol now my last fill up was 107 pence litre at tesco compared too 118 pence that i was paying before so surely we should all have a very big    on our faces

Scarecrow monday I was thinking about what you said.
ok I had a customer to pick up from heathrow air port.
I tried my best in my car to get the best mpg, was always 35 mpg on motorway, I got peed of and sat at 88mph rest of the way.
normally I set cruise to 80mph
any way I managed to notice that when I got to air port my car said 37.1mpg.
ive never seen this in my life.
got back and said to wife in your face heres a pic 37.1 mpg.
long story, our bmw I can get 40mpg its petrol, she cant lol.
so on our audi she always say shes the best driver lol on mpg.
she now claiming oh thats because aircon off.
no it wasn't but monday was non stop rain and cold.

that made me think about you.
If I could always get 37 mpg id be chuffed.
a guy at my back up support place for my diagnostics keeps asking me to get my ecu re mapped.
he said 250 and my car will always be over 40mpg and just over 300bhp with over a 1000nm of torque.
he reckons as im under a 1000nm of torque thats why im on 35 mpg.
be interesting if any body else knows the ins and outs of this.
my car is a audi a6 quattro 3.0 v6 tdi.
ive never thought about it as its got plenty of balls,  at 2000rpm your pinned in your seat and 3000rpm well your not grabbing nothing of the dash board thats for sure.
normal driving its always 1500rpm.

Hi there,

I removed my EGR Valve and cleaned it yesterday and fitted it back on to the engine. After hooking back all the pipes and other stuff, I started up the engine and when I rev it up I can hear a chuffing sound. Can someone please assist and advise me on what would be causing this sound?

Thanks and I await any great responses that can help me.

Chuffing sound is a bit ambiguous I know but beware of the Chuff Chuff of a failing camchain  
Has it just started or is it possible you are just now noticing it?

If you are unsure, get someone who knows what they are listening for to give their opinion. Hopefully its not that and just the chuff of an air leak, but I could not let the possibility go unmentioned ( my camchain snapped and wrecked my engine...   )
