How do I improve c5 2.2L HDi mpg?
Hi,
Just wondering if someone can offer tips which they have found will improve the mpg on a 2.2L. I've had it maybe two months and getting average 40mpg for urban and motorway. Obviously the 2.0L would be better but a changeover aint happening at the moment. Any thoughts or links?
Thanks

Re: How do I improve c5 2.2L HDi mpg?
Thats just about it for the 2.2 !! Sorry but True! The only way to improve it is to sell it and get a 2.0 either 8v or 16v version!!
2.2 is reknown for not have a great mpg figure at all!

Indeed this would kill the car. XUD fine, common rail no. I was hoping for more info along the lines of ERG, FAP, vacuum hose checks etc

Nope, Sorry, 2.2 DW12 engine is inheritley poor on fuel for a modern DI Common rail engine design!

Re: How do I improve c5 2.2L HDi mpg?
Surely I could squeeze an extra 5mpg out of it somewhere? ERG cleanout/blank & FAP removal etc?

Re: How do I improve c5 2.2L HDi mpg?
I think 40 is already a good 2.2 figure already..
FAP removal is now techically an illegal operation now, if the MOT tester can proove it has been removed.

Re: How do I improve c5 2.2L HDi mpg?
Console yourself with the thought that my 2.0 only gets 32~34 mpg, just like the last one. And the Accord before that.fotobright wrote:Surely I could squeeze an extra 5mpg out of it somewhere? ERG cleanout/blank & FAP removal etc?

Re: How do I improve c5 2.2L HDi mpg?
My old 2.2 never bettered 40mpg over a whole tank if I remember correctly. And that was working 45 miles from home all on quiet country roads at a steady 50 mph I don't get much more out of my current 2.0 16v, but it has different use, often just short runs in town with a good blast once or twice a month.

Re: How do I improve c5 2.2L HDi mpg?
I'm afraid the only way is to drive like an 80 year old vicar.
Even at a steady 50 mph on the motorway I can only squeeze 53 MPG out of mine. Around town I can get up to 39 MPG at a push.
The 170 BHP is nice for swift overtaking though.
