hi all, im trying to get some "real life" info on mpg for a T5 2.5tdi 130bhp.... hearing lots of things so would appreciate any reports. Would it be better than a T5 1.9tdi??? thanks.

welcome speedygirl, glad you took my advice.
I have the 2.5 Tdi 174bhp in my Touareg, and I am getting great fuel economy after gettting it remapped by Joe @ Chipped Ireland, up to 40mpg on combined cycle being light footed
It can come down to what type of driver you are and if its city driving etc...

after your advice Ray, Joe did his magic

had to tweak a bits but now its like a dream. As I said the 40mpg average is after 3.5hrs mixed driving trying to be light footed (pardon the pads indicator that was on those days)

would that be an average of mixed driving?
otherwise it must be downhill
