INCREDIBLE FUEL CONSUPTION
« on: 27 October 2010, 11:32:47 »
Hi,

After one full tank and 700 km my car still can do 576 km more with 5 liters, just a picture of the MID/TID, the computer is perfect, my Omega with 365.000 km has decreased drastically the fuel consuption...

Here is the picture




I know what is happening, but this is just a riddle for the forum experts... ;D

Arth

P.D., the answer later...

Nop, it says 576, but I would not take the risk of going out without visiting the petrol station...  :)

My mid/tid was K.O, almost no pixels in good conditions, I bought a used one, very cheap, It was ok until we arrived to this menu, we investigate what was the problem,  and we found It came from a Kombi/Caravan, mine is Sedan, so you are advice,  the mid/tid are not compatibles.. :-[

This one is also loosing the pixels as you can see, I found a place where the repair it but it cost 120 euros!!! >:( >:(

Saloon/Estate makes no difference, its the engine/gearbox combo, and is reprogrammable with Tech2 (and possibly Tech1 if you are anywhere near Omegatoy).
