Still double check the air filter as with all this rain we've had there is more than a chance its socking wet.

Also the fuel filter isn't part of a service. It's an extra as I've been told many a time by my local dealer.


Have they not got a solution for this yet leaking into the air filter




Think there was, is a modified part for the top of the air box. Mine gets soaked from road surface water being spayed up of the wheel or splashed up from puddles.

So I managed to do a long distance run

I did 54 miles with 5 bikes in the back so pretty empty and averaged 24.7mpg

It had been serviced 2000 ish miles ago
Need to get this sorted so I don’t spend all my time at the fuel station
You guys got any ideas where to look first ?

Dec 2014 Mk8, L2H2 350 RWD 155ps with 83k on the clock, up to date service. Always use Shell V Power or BP Ultra.

Empty running, 340 miles mostly dual carriageways/motorways and very little urban driving, trying for the best mpg (using CC, changing up/down correctly, top speed of 65mph).

Got 30.56mpg which I thought was pretty crap!!

Definitely getting it remapped although now thinking an economy map instead of the power map (and the fun) I had planned. :?
2013 Connect Trend Mk1 Facelift 90bhp T230 High Roof, LWB (a blank canvass)
2014 Transit Trend Mk8, L2H2 RWD 350, 155bhp (now traded for the above)
2008 Connect Mk1 75bhp, EGR Delete, remapped to 100bhp (still in the family)
