Hello everyone.
Just brought a 2001 meridian 2.0 HDI with 76000 miles on the clock.
I drove it back from nuneaton to sleaford which is about 80 miles and did 70 - 80mph on the A46 on the way back.
I then did a couple of other 12 miles trips and then a 40 mile trip on A roads not ragging it at all 60mph max and not accelerating to fast.
it turns out after brimming it again I only got 36mpg!!
Any ideas why this could be? I'm thinking it needs a service as the last one recorded in the service history book is at 57000 miles. It could have been serviced since but there is no paperwork to prove.
I've had a look around and cant see any fuel leaks or anything.
Loving the car though it pulls well and has great retro looks.
i've had a 205 and 309 in the past so its great to be back in an old pug!
Plans are to get a decat and remove the back box and have a middle box as the back box and get a stage 1 map.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the mpg front.
Rich.
