Ive just bought a mk7 twin wheel 100ps luton van.

and i think i averaged something like 18mpg on the way home. Traveling at 50mph. It did about 280miles to £100

Then on my second fill it average 26.7mpg . Can anybody fill the gaps and tell me what the hell happend here ??

And i think mine is losing boost aswell.. as i can hear a loud hissing noise and a loss of power above 3k rpm

What should a remap & obviously solving my air leak do to my fuel economy? does anyone think 30mpg is possible? :)

Fixing any problems will help, full service, then see what you get, then get it mapped :wink:

So, now my fuel economy has stabalised. The loss of boost was infact a not what i thought. but my Cat about to snap in half.

so it snapped in half. and spent £600 getting it replaced. wonderfull!!

My fuel economy has stabilised at about 22-23mpg . Is this about right for a luton mk7 transit?

and would a remap take me upto about 25mpg ??

any ideas on this would be appreciated.

Actually same as my Mk 4 tranny- petrol (was it 1.6 or 2.0 ? I cant remember- :oops: -I had it for 10 years ).
