Re: Quick summer mode pics...

Hah, is yours a 24V or 12V? I know in the city if I get 250KM on half a tank of gas I'm in good shape. Lucky for me I don't have a faulty O2 sensor or a CEL. Knock on wood!

Mine is a 12V, but like Mike said I guess I shouldnt be complaining cause VR's were never made for fuel economy

Re: Quick summer mode pics...

you get 650km for your VR6? Mine is a pig on gas, I only get 450km in the city, and maybe 530km before the light comes on, but I do have the CEL on due to a faulty O2..

Mike...the VR's are not really known for their mileage. I'd say 500kms is good. The faulty O2 sensor will indeed decrease your mileage though. Since I chipped mine, I'm lucky to see 450kms per tank.

PD TDi's are excellent on fuel mileage. The numbers are higher on the Passats because they do have a bigger tank, but 1500kms per tank is about right. The new MK5 Clean TDi's get 1200kms for every 55L. Thats a milestone of savings over a period of time. I will be getting the new clean TDi for the wife after we get our house. Its 140HP with I think 236ft/lbs. It drives pretty quite too. VW did a great job revamping the TDi.

Re: Quick summer mode pics...

I've done 1247km (Calgary-> Kelowna-> Calgary) with no fuel light. Made it all the way home (deep SW) and the light hadn't come on yet. This was in my dads 00 TDI Jetta. My black Jetta was also on this trip and it only did 1169kms (this was with 19's....).

1200 is easily doable. I've done Calgary-> Saskatoon -> Calgary on a single tank many times.

Going to Vancouver this Friday in the 00 TDI, I know I'll make it there no problemo but I really want to try for a new record tank, I'm sure I can do over 1300 if I stick close to the speed limit (which I will most likely be doing....pretty much every BC trip we've done has involved a meeting with some form of law enforcement :( )

TDIFTW.

I love these Passat wagons that you guys have. Very classy cars!

I'm happy when I get 650KM on the highway …

Re: Quick summer mode pics...

Yup,
607 + 607 + about 20 in kelowna + comp said 160 when pulled into garage = 1394.

Note: Comp will still estimate highway mileage for awhile once back in the city. That 160km is probably more like 100 actual km's but 1400km is very do-able on a PD TDi (Correct me if i'm wrong but I think Euro Dub PL's 05 Golf TDi wasn't a PD......PD's get better fuel economy, no?)
20km's in kelowna was used when taking the pictures, all other driving was done in my Dad's sweet ass minivan

1157km is the best i've run in my 01 TDI, and the fuel light wasn't on, so probably could have done another 100km at least. Its not that unreasonable.

with chip, and .205 injectors that are f'd up, and a thule box on the roof I don't get that... Last trip to BC i did a little over 900km.

Re: Quick summer mode pics...

i used to see this passat all the time when i took 14th to get to school.
looks sweet

Yeah, I think I have seen you a couple times but I am never sure cause you have had so many different cars. I thought I saw you in the white passat a while ago. I was actually thinking of picking that one up.

Whats a PD Tdi?

Re: Quick summer mode pics...

I somewhat doubt you're getting over 1500+ km a tank.

(607km to Kelowna, 607km back to Calgary, 100 or so in Kelowna, and still having 160km)
