Hey guys starting to get the bugs worked out of my 1995 Golf Turbo Diesel (1,9 AZZ) and what wondering what kind of fuel millage other people where getting with this engine because right now im only getting about 800km to a tank. Anyway let me know what you guys are getting if you dont mind.

I get on avg 500-600 miles (800-975 kms) on 15 gal (@ 60L) running 70-75 mph (120-125 km/h) with my Quantum 1.6 TD with nearly half a million miles in it. It used to get over 700 miles per, but I "think" it's getting a little tired.

My commute is 200km a day.
I'm getting 850km per tank in my A2 1.6TD Jetta

:twisted: ...Funny how this thread is performance related... :twisted:

i go about 550 to 13 gal with acitone mixed in 2oz per tank.without i get about 39 mpg to 40 mpg somewares around 500 mi to tank with out acitone.
-
What does the acitone do Dennis?
-
suspose to take the fluid tencion from the fuel like soap does to water. and this helps the fuel to atomize better on some engines gas or diesel.
if you are going to try it start small at 1 oz per 10 gal mix and not more than 4 oz per 10 gal. and it is a solivent so when you put it in do it at the station and fill it up after pooring it in. some people see 3 to 5 mpg some do not. you must find what your car likes. and if no change first tank do it again for the second than see what it does.

Its performance related because I was hoping to get some some answers from people who might not have there engines stock.
great response so far guys. I used to get about 900km/tank with my stock 1.6D Golf so my 1.9 is kinda letting me down.

Nope.....

..... the wife gets the (TDI) wagon in the background.
Not too shabby at 25k shy of half a million miles
Sorry 'bout the hi-jack

I'm sure you'll get your mileage up... You'll have to fiddle though... with exhaust, air filter; fuelling, timing and injector pressure... Have I missed anything :shock: EDIT: There will of course be a weight issue :idea:
Your original posting makes no reference to your 'hope' for non-stock replies. My posting was also non stock and performance related as my one 'Q' that was doing 'well' has a drop in 5 cylinder large bore exhaust a cloth air filter and could do over 800m per tank. My curent one does 500mpt at best... One of my quests was to pool results from fellow 'Q' drivers and see if compression reduction has a significant result.
Alain your 'Q' was like my first one a 1982 VW Santana. This was made with Audi parts which were of a better grade than VW... Ran with a 1.6 gasser modded with a Weber 100+ mph and fairly regular 29mpg US

OK let's see, I have a 2.5 inch downpipe and exhaust system through a flowmaster stainless steel muffler. A rebuilt 1.6 1V turbo ECO diesel enginewith 14k mileson it, with a Giles modified pump with an LDA added to it and my best tank has been 710miles, 1142.63klm to a 14gallon fill up. On average I get 48mpg, general running 55 to 70 mph on my 50 mile round trip to and from work.
I'm happy with it. I wonder if I got a K24 turbo if it would make a difference over the K14. I like the way the K14 spools up so fast. :D

i think my tank lasts for around 400miles, i dont know why but it dosent seem to be very economic. the engine is rebuild 15k ago and it does pull well. i think i might have to play with the pump a little to make it more economic, also will install an intercooler to free some more power and use less diesel.
Any other way to improve consumption?
Was driving an A3 TDi recently 99 yr and they seem much more economic than mine :x
-
what you guys say to be the best additive to use, my last tank i used STP injector cleaner and fuel treatment, but didn't notice to much, I've been averaging 37 MPG the last month and a bit. I want to go further on a tank

I've been using AMSOIL's Diesel Fuel Modifier.

It seems to work great for me.

Blimey 400 miles/ tank?
Solutions/reasons
1) Your rebuild mechanics swapped a gasser in whilst your head was turned.
2) You're driving a tank with a VW badge.
3) You have a limited edition drug smuggler's fuel tank.
4) You drive like Jake round a track.
..Ok jokeing aside
Is anything binding?
Do you have pre-rebuild mileage?
Smokin' ?

Fokin funny bastard, was cracking :lol:
MIlage now is 142k hmm im not really sure what the hell is wrong with teh bastard, it seems to be ok on power, has around 9-10 psi, tends to smoke when beating it and I do have a heavy foot I must say but still :?

I get 800km city and 1000+ highway. I once went from Calgary to Nanaimo on one tank of fuel, 1100km, and that's over the Rockies.
-
I got 1179.1 km on my last tank with my 1992 Jetta (1985 1.6D in it).
The car is not aligned and I don't have a cruise control yet.
My guess is that I'll be able to see 1400 ++++ km per tank eventually.
BTW, the tank capacity on A2's is exactly 59.9 litres.
I got to my favorite station and when the jetta saw the pump, she died. :oops:
5 seconds of cranking and I was back on the road.
For this tank, 350 km before the gauge gets off the full mark and 500 km at 3/4. :D
Not as economical as my B4 passat, but a fun little car nonetheless. :)
-
So my Rabbit got a little over 50mpg coming home over Donner Pass(I was in a hurry!) from central Nevada sunday night ,,,,240000 miles not bad... and this w my 14x6 24 inch dirt road tires to boot too! I'm very :D
I do use the white can Power service goop too, but not on this trip, otherwise I be up around 54- 55....... :)
-
I got 4.39 l/100 km on my second to last tank, best so far.
I went in hilly terrain and got 5.26 (filled up monday).
Here's a bad combinaison: 10% hills and 1.6D NA... :?
I had to go uphill in 3rd at 4500 rpm... :cry:
-
Yikes, what's up with my 1.6D??
I typically have been getting only 750 km's per tank for past couple years, drive around 120km's / hour.
Original everything, must be my leaking pump head and injectors.
I once did get 1000k out of a tank 10 years ago but drove under 100 all week.

Drive slower and change you pump's seals, you should get better mileage then. :wink:
-
I've got 700 and it's just below a half tank. Gotta love the waste veggie oil.

For this tank I got to 820 before the needle gets off the white half way mark. :D
Will fill up today and report back (1111 km so far). :twisted:
