Hey so kind of new to the Tdis Picked up a 2000 jetta gls back in january. Bought the car from a performance shop in nh who worked on all vw audi. They received the car with blown motor from broken t belt. They rebuilt the head and new t belt along with new intake manifold and a bunch of other little things (non-mechanical). 5 speed tranny. Driving is about a 50/50 split city/highway
So since then i have been taking my car to Chris hill (Great guy) in Braintree is anyone knows the south shore of mass.
As for the FE issue since i have had the car i Avg only 39-41 Mpg this includes stock, then stock with roof racks, then roof racks with a chip, then back to stock with RR, Then to 502 nozzels( yes I know to big) chip and roof racks. Still just between 39-41.
I recently just drove it to florida with the tune only and two bicycles on the roof i avged bout 37 all the way down. The entire time driving around down there I avged bout 38-40 with bikes on the roof.
For the trip home i squeezed the bikes in the car and got my best tank from tampa to NC of about 45mpg. Next tank though went down to 40 again still with the bikes in the car.
Chris has also done the timing best way to describe in its the higher part of the graph i believe the vag-com??
Well anyways heard other people talking 45mpg+ winter driving/winter gas up here and upwards 50 in summer.
I know its only 5-8 mpg but that really adds up and i just want 50mpg bragging rights .
So any ideas would be appreciated or even guiding me in the right direction.
Thanks
