I just brought one a week ago and it constantly says around the 22L/100kms. A friend suggested that the computer might be out a little and to have a jerry in the boot and run it empty and it should fix this problem. It dose seam to chew through the fuel even when I drive slowly. Could be fuel line or jets problem? Just wanting to hear other peoples thoughts.

No change in driving style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobylee Member 120 Member For: 11y 3m 10d Posted 12/05/14 02:23 AM Share Posted 12/05/14 02:23 AM Easy way to find out... Fill up completely and record kms. Drive 50ks or so and fill up again. Note the litres used against the kms driven. Btw, those golfs can be bloody quick.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
