- 2001 Beetle GLS TDI (BIODSL). 01 original Glow Bug TDI (sold)
Hi all,
I resently took a trip in my 01 tdi and found I have terrible mileage. I averaged about 30mpg , the bug has normal power and everything seems fine. On this trip I averaged about 70 mph, I have a 2 inch lift but I don't think it would make that big of a difference Would it? Last year when I went on a similar trip I was averaging about 43mpg this was prior to the lift. Is there anything else that could be causing such poor mpg? I was thinking maybe a clogged intake because of the egr, but don't know if this would decrease the mileage that much.
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
