    Default 1.0 gal consumption at idle

    Are others experiencing this?

    I have tried to explain to the dealer about it, but they are not interested. The only way I can stop it is to turn the engine off and back on.

    Had the EGR valve replaced recently and wondered whether that might cure it, but it's still happening.

    I checked about the recall for the particulate filter and mine doesn't need it.

    Any ideas people?

    Not a clue mate.. But i do believe someone else had a high consumption whilst idling, maybe a search through the threads will turn it up.

    I did have another search of the forums earlier and found this, which explains it nicely.
