Hey guys,
I'm looking for some advice on BEW specific fuel mileage mods. I tend to average 36-39 mpg and the personal best is 40.
My car is pretty up to date with maintenance. I recently:
Had a timing belt job and had my torsion value set to -.5
Had an alignment
Changed fuel filter
Changed air filter
Changed battery
Checked the control arm bushings and they're good
Recently cleaned the turbo vanes
Cleaned my EGR valve and intake manifold
The MAF is questionable and I'm in the process of ordering a new one.
Now for my questions. Is there any other maintenance related things I should look at that could be affecting fuel economy? And as far as mods, I'm on a skin tight budget and live paycheck to paycheck. The more expensive things like the Malone tune and VNT17 are going to have to come later. Are there any budget friendly mods I can make for now?
