FYI.
I have Volvo 850TDI, wit an audi 2.5TDI engine (103KW).
Avg. yearly consumption of only 6.47 litres/100 kms.

Very happy with that :-)

BTW, - I got this

Litres Per 100k: 6.47 = Miles Per Gallon (U.S.): 36.35

Well, replacing the filters may help some, but it's definitely not going to
double your mileage. Good place to start would be to hook up the car to a
computer (a VAG tool or similar) and pull the error codes stored in there -
this may give you an indication of what is going on.

Cheers,

Pete

If you have DIS you should see up to 50 mpg, I have driven the boss's old
1.9TDI loads of times, and on a run @ 70mph the most I have seen is 54mpg,
it's also the same engine as in the Passat which again can touch 50mpg with
care :) (these are av mpg not instant)
