Hi All!
My first time here & already asking for help!!
My 2.5 CDX auto estate 97R, has problems!!
Had the HG done, as we were loosing 1/2lt in 300miles or so. No loss of performance, or water in oil, so not certain if this was REAL cause of coolant loss, as it needed 2 further attempts to fix 'other leaks' after the HG!
But that's hard to quantify, so ignoring that, really. What we do have is MPG prior to repair of 27ish, now lucky to get 21!!
I have been using climate control & max heating/lights during the journey of 30miles, each way, daily, in darkness, so expect some increase in consumption.
But on a run from filling up in Luton, resetting the computer readings & straight onto M1, to start of motorway, daytime, no delays, max 6omph & no heating used, it still only got 23mpg.
So any input welcomed!
Thanks in advance!
VB
