I had 7l/100km when on the open road… But I am happy to say that I resolved it, thanks to you. 😁 it was the MAF, I do not have vcds, but I unplugged it and the car instantly was accelerating 30% better. I then went on the open road, and it was visibly consuming a lot less fuel. So I bought a new MAF, replaced it and it’s consuming a lot less. Thanks again!

I have a worse case than yours, I recently bought a Polo 1.2 TDI and it’s consuming 7l/100km. And I am even driving it as economical as it is possible. There are no errors showing up on diagnostics. A friend had a similar issue, but it was actually resolved by replacing the lambda sensor. A mechanic told him it has no influence in diesel engines, but luckily he was wrong, and it was resolved in his case. Unfortunately I am not so lucky, and later this week I will put in injectors from the friend’s car and see if they are the cause.

Hi Titus, have you tried testing/replacing lambda sensor?
