Player No.1 0 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hey folks, not long joined up on here (Not long had a VR!!!) basically, I know the VR is never gonna give great MPG, if I wanted it, I'd have got a diesel, but Ive had the car a week, and I've not seen it above 15MPG yet... one thing's concerning me, before I bought it I read somewhere to make sure it warms up to 70deg fast and dont go over 90, well, it takes 8 minutes for the temp needle to move, that's not fast, I don't know if the thermostats been removed at some point which would explain it taking a while to get hot, but the economy is bothering me as I only got 18miles out of a tenner today, I'm expecting double that!!! This is driving very conservativly as well (Although it is hard with that sound!!!)Anything obvious spring to mind??I need to sheck my plugs yet but cant really do that till weekend so I'm just trying to gather some ideas.

bungy 2 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 1st off get someone to vag com it for you and check to see what that brings up. I'd then check the plugs to see how the engine has been running and if it is taking that long to warm up, then definately check your thermostat. When was it last serviced?
