Ok, 2003 TDI Beetle. 170k, all original that I know of. TB done around 100k.
So normally I average 52-48 MPG and last tank I got 42 and this tank is shaping up to be as bad or worse.
No smoke, boost seem to be normal. All temps normal. Runs smooth. Power seems a tad low when cruising (go pedal seem to need to be pressed a bit more) but when WOT good power. Evry mod works as it has (on a toggle switch, not used often). So I am at a loss as to where all the extra fuel is going. I don't smell a leak or see fuel on the ground so I don't think its that.
I read around the forums and found some common information in this issue and checked a few things. MAF reading changes with RPM. Checked timing and injection quanity at idle.
23:00:15 Group 013: I.Q. Idle Stabilization (Injection Quantity Deviation)
0.19 mg/str IQ Cylinder 1
0.33 mg/str IQ Cylinder 2
-0.61 mg/str IQ Cylinder 3
0.05 mg/str IQ Cylinder 4
23:00:15 Group 002: Idle speed
903 /min Engine Speed (G28)
0.0 % Accel. Pedal Pos. Sensor 1 (G79)
0 1 0 Operating condition
75.6°C Coolant Temperature (G62)
Timing was done and according to other sources the engine was over 80C according to VCDS outside of the timing graph.
So does anybody have a clue where I should look to repair this? Thanks.
