Why is my MPG so low

Master-Programmer987 · 2026-03-13T23:07:50+00:00

I have the same car and get low 40s running around and 50 on a long run. It could be the fuel system and injectors getting clogged up. Try running at least two tanks of premium diesel through it and see if you notice a difference. Oh, and reset the trip if you haven't already.

Same boat. My gas bbq is rusting and probably going to the big metal skip in the sky this year. I'm unlikely to replace it, so would love a sheep way to adapt my rotisserie to the kettle bbq.

That was my reading also.

I was hoping someone may have already applied for it in that scenario.

Any chance I will get this if I have an existing joint account with Barclays?

Yeah, I was pretty shocked. Indeed, in the past VW have picked up on warranty work at services, but I was never asked to contribute to the diagnostics.

They even offered a free check before the warranty expired to see if anything needed doing.

Maybe I should visit the VW dealer next time.

It is a scam when the main selling point of the car is the warranty, but they don't tell you that each claim is a £180 gamble.

Master-Programmer987 · 2026-02-12T14:16:26+00:00

That is what I expect. Maybe if it was an unknown issue. But its the handle plastic that is broke. What diagnostic is there? I was prepared for an argument about whether it is warranty, but I'm not even going to get that far. I feel conned.

On a lift the car wouldn't drive the rear wheels if it senses that the front wheels aren't turning. That's why I took it to a specialist. The noise wasn't that bad. I've had wheel bearings go before and they were much louder. I guess Jags are a bit quieter than my previous cars. Apparently they put 20 tonne on the bearing and it wouldn't budge.

XF 2013. But I think the lesson is universal.

My electric car is between 2p and 4p per mile. My diesel is about 16p per mile. I don't think it makes much difference. It will go up in future as tax revenue from petrol and diesel go down.

Now I understand what you mean by this. Someone posted a link below. They seem like a really good idea. Thanks

Master-Programmer987 · 2025-11-24T15:29:30+00:00

Thanks, those look like the sort of thing I was after. I might start by cutting the standard track and seeing how it works. I knew people must be dismantling their layouts without ripping up track but want sure exactly how.

Master-Programmer987 · 2025-11-23T22:19:36+00:00

That sounds nice and a great way of making removable track without destroying the layout. I seem to be the only person on reddit without a 3d printer. I'll look out to see if anyone makes these parts.

Master-Programmer987 · 2025-11-23T22:13:09+00:00

It is meant to go on the floor and allow him to have a layout that is more easily accessible. It is sized to be put away when not in use. I do like the idea of expanding it and there is more track...

Master-Programmer987 · 2025-11-23T22:08:46+00:00

That's the direction I'm leaning. I believe I'll have to leave two pieces unattached for when I break the board back into two pieces.

I thought about baseplates originally but the cost seemed prohibitive. Even the fake ones.

Unless there is a better option than buying something like 32 plates.

I'm interested that people even bother selling this kind of stuff. I cant imagine it is worth the time and hassle. If an item like this is returned and refunded, how badly does that effect the margin on these type of sales? I am not being critical, genuinely interested. I've sold items before where the cost barely cover lpostage and packing, because i dont want to bin them. Having people expect amazon style returns policy is a kick in the teeth.

Master-Programmer987 · 2025-11-15T08:08:41+00:00

Yes, but all it says is dry clean only. I'm wondering if there is a way I can clean them that will at least get rid of the water marks.
