So this happened at essentially zero miles, first time off the sales lot?! A diesel truck filled with gasoline is a defective product. The whole affair is theirs to suffer; accept nothing less than a new/unused, never-mistreated replacement. Good luck!

15.683g, $3.189/g, 784.2' 206667' 50.00mpg, 6.4c/m +PS It's not an 800 (really not trying :-p ) but I thought the 50.00 mpg -- even to 2 decimal places -- was noteworthy :-)

On occasion I poll my coworkers and friends on their "pennies per mile fuel cost"....this has to be the most in-your-face way of comparing fuel costs. And while most gasser folks clearly have a weak handle on their actual fuel costs, based on what data I can find, no one ever comes as close as...

^^ that's pretty funny :D

Unfortunately (perhaps), by the time most drivers can afford an Audi, the importance of Economy trails so far behind Performance & Longevity that the 3-legged stool doesn't stand anywhere close to straight any more....yeah, I want one and have the means but I would still have to fall over the...

Oddly, I had logged here on this morning to look up Chris' numerical nickname so I could pass it onto an acquaintance who is looking to get into a new(er) TDI. That can wait. Best wishes, Chris, speedy recovery!

What, only 5 years? It's not even broken in yet! 'grats to both of ya :)

It pains me to read stuff such as this here and while it is practically senseless to reply with the hope of containing all the butchery of fact that goes on, let me remind you that the air you breathe has closer to 79% nitrogen but what's 6% among friends? :rolleyes:

A swing and a miss.... :p

My search turned up no dedicated thread to this subject. Had a problem with the warm/cold cable coming loose (the lever the cable operates dropped down and disengaged from its whatchamacallit) which I fixed and everything seems hooked up properly except there is very little if any heat being...

VW: fun while driving AND now walking! :) Piano Stairs

snoop, click the link 7 or 8 posts above yours

Great job in that PD!! That rounds up to "only" 49.9 mpg ;)

812 miles & 52.12 mpg last tank while paying NO mind to mileage and only modest attention to the speed limit :D '03 5M, ~120K miles, pp520s, RC3, 0.681 5th, DG down-pipe w/ cat-back, and vented (of course) An alternative to the ventectomy or 'manual venting' is to fill up till auto click-off...

...as they say up east, ayuh! Time, not volume :)

vrooom vrroooommmm goes the TDI :D

"guess"?! Come on, you can do better than guess.

my ALH mods never hurt mileage My '03 ALH (aka Jake) CONSISTENTLY tops 50 mpg in summer (typical ~52 mpg) and rarely falls below 48 mpg in the worst of winter. A leaky tire and driving like I stole it ONCE resulted in mileage below 44 mpg BUT only for that one tank!! When I calculate a number...

Good god almighty! siss-boom-baaaa-aw hell!
