Hi all - I'm a newby so please be patient.
I have had my TD4HSE for 5 months. Had previously put disappointing MPG down to mainly urban driving but, on recent trip to French Alps cruising at 70-75MPH on motorways, only got 32 MPG based on odometer. Fear that in reality slightly less. Car has done 50K. I have read about replacing the MAF with Pierburg, about the synergy 2 from Rover Ron and about his Mafam. Have also read about cleaning the EGR valve etc.
My question is really about what sequence of things to try. For example, is it worth changing the MAF without getting a Mafam or synergy2? Should I clean the MAF sensor and EGR first and see how that goes? Just don't want to jump into high costs without making sure I try other avenues first.
Thanks in anticipation.
