Hi all,
not been on for a while, but I am now retired since end of Feb as firm closed down. I have just returned from a 3 week holiday to Sweden to see my son.
I decided to drive the vec out this time. I can only say how impressed I am with the car. 2008 Vec Cdti150 auto. Now showing 50K miles. I covered 3,610 miles in total and the car never missed a beat. Took 3 days each way, covering 500 miles a day. Used 70 galls of fuel, which averages at 51mpg. It was showing a better average mpg till I got to Germany.
It was great driving through Germany on the roads with no speed limit, I spent a long time at high speeds, which I haven't done for many a year. Gave the engine a chance to stretch its legs. Even at the highest speed the engine was only doing 2,500rpm
I think we should get Angela Merkel installed into 10 Downing Street and get some of our speed limits raised.
I gave the car a quick service before I left, as it had been 10k miles since the previous oil change. Did oil + filter, air filter, fuel filter, pollen filter and took a spare fuel filter with me.
All I can say is the car is great, and I love driving it.
