Poor mpg 1.9 150 signum

**Desolation91** · 1st March 2013, 23:47

I'm currently reading 39 on the BC display. But I was expecting at least another 10mpg....

I've done oil change, air filter and mod, cleaned egr and blanked with a hole in the middle,

I haven't cleaned the throttle body yet??

I wouldn't say I have a heavy foot as I'm trying to drive carefully!

It could possibly be my rear caliper that's seizing on! was very smelly when I got back tonight! ! Getting that sorted tomorrow!

Dunno what else it could be. All the injector wires have bee replaced. New manifold, new alternator!

Wait until your brakes are 'known ok' and then see how things go. Just remember you'd expect things to be down slightly as it's still cold, due to the longer time things take to get up to temperature, etc.

was your mpg any better going home mate ???

It was doing just under 45, but I forgot to reset it and that was 80 all way down motorway.

Hopefully I can clean the throttle body tomorrow. Car looks mint mate! Thanks for showing me the cleaning stuff!

I did notice under acceleration joining the m1 the account peddle was vibrating slightly?
