can anyone on here have any idea why my td5 disco auto only gets roughly 18.5 mpg and it is not towing anything
had new maf sensor . air and fuel filters , gearbox oil and filter change new brake calipers and pads recent mot passed emisions with flying colours
Standard tyres and suspension? And driving style?
I haven't had a Td5, but I can get that out of my v8 Auto, so I would think that is way under what you should get.
my old 300 got about 30mpg give or take
thinking i got a dud
got it in january, it seems to hang a bit before going into top gear but at first i was putting it down to being first auto i had ever driven.
after oil and filter change it improved but still seems to hang a bit before going into top
What size tyres? ... if they are more than 10% bigger you can expect anything, anyway, after a longer drive check the handbrake drum carefully with your hand and if it's hot there's the problem cos it means it puts load on the powertrain, also ckeck the wheels all around to rule out erratic braking on one axle
I get 30 MPG with driving calmly, this goes down to 24 MPG when flooring it. I drive a manual Td5 on General Grabber At2.
No diesel leak any where? Injector seals? Are your injectors programmed?
The first thing I did when I bought my Td5 was buying a nanocom. The best thing I did.
