I have a 2005 Jetta BEW automatic. 171,000 miles, maybe 2 YO timing belt, all stock. Maybe up to the last year or so I thought my mpg's were going down slightly.
I used to get high 30's to low 40's around town and mid 40's highway. This was always hand figured at every fill up. My last fill up, maybe 50/50 mixed driving was 31mpg.
All the usual things like filters have been changed with no improvement.
The car runs as good as it ever has with the exception of a very slight barely perceptible lag when accelerating at lower speeds.
The fuel injectors are original and never been touched. Could anybody recommend a fuel injector cleaner or at this mileage should they be serviced/replaced?
The brakes don't seem to be dragging as none of the wheels feel hot to the touch and all feel pretty much the same temp. I have a temp. gun to check them but they all feel fine so I didn't see a reason to.
Does any of this indicate EGR problems, camshaft wear, etc.?
Also while I haven't scanned it , it shows no CEL.
Thanks.
