Right chaps, it is well known I hate my Volvo and everything about it but what’s really bothering me is the piss poor mpg.
I do a 32miles commute per day at a steady 65mph and can only get 42mpg, what gives? It doesn’t matter how I drive, it’s always 400miles to a tank regardless.
I’ve changed all the filters inc fuel....no joy.
I replaced the copper washers on the injectors as one was leaking, still no joy
Cleaned out the EGR, nope
Replaced the pipe from turbo to airbox as it looked a bit beaten....na
Noticed the air pipe had a film of oil over it....according to the Internet they do that...
Used redex through it with no improvements
Ran a couple of tanks of BP Ultimate diesel through it and my mpg got worse and the car ran like a bag of sheeite!
I can deal with having a dog**** slow car if I’m getting 55/60mpg but not low 40s....any recommendations?
