anyone help please - my car is eating juice all off a sudden. performance is fine, not losing power - any ideas?
-
Engine light on? Does the EML appear on the dash with the ignition on then turn off when the car is started? Codes read?
-
every thing is fine, no codes, no warnings. :'(
-
mines eating to about 230m to a full tank in town :-?
-
Have you checked for oil in the spark plug wells? May not affect performance but may affect mpg...
-

How much is it using? What does the mfd say on average mpg?

Have any vac pipes been left adrift or connected incorrectly ???
-
have not checked mfd.
usually does about 300. on full tank, last time filled up it has done around 240 250
-
will check the pipes, but would not make it run lumpy, came back from yorkshire weekene, and she purred
-
300 miles might be about right for a 3.0 if you're doing a lot of short journeys.
-
i agree, but she has only managed 240.250, mindd you was nit hanging around, maybe thats the cause
-
A good service might help a bit, new plugs, oil change etc..

Right foot action is the prime cause of "eating fuel" !
Seriously .. if you drasticaly change your driving habits on a single run you will see wildly varying results .. if I drive my 3.2 "sensibly" on a long run ( gentle acceleration, legal speed limits ) I can get low 30's to the gallon so 300+ to the tank ... as soon as I start to enjoy myself its down to 25 mpg ... if I go daft ( :-/ ) its a low as 18 mpg !!
-
not long had service, plugs. etc, will do oil change this weekend, will keep close eye on fuel, maybe my big right foot.
-
think its my big foot, will slow down, and take it bit easier, will let you know results.
