It certainly doesnt feel any smoother,as it is very smooth anyway, and quiet. so that is my conculsion also, that the car was very well maintained and serviced before i bought it, it had 79,000 on the clock, its now has 94,000

Aren't you the lucky one I use Millers in my old Quattro as octane booster and lead substitute and it works well, but have to say am a sceptic when it comes to fuel additives generally. Also use Millers oils in our Minis and wouldn't use anything else. It may be worth checking that fuel filter is fresh. Seeing increasingly dirty and clogged up filters of late which makes me wonder where the current batch of diesel is coming from. Our Tdi golf started smoking couple of months after a service, and investigation of filter and change stopped the smoking and increased mpg back to 64 from 55. The filter was clogged and black. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀 TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!! Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈 Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱 Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜 |

Good point about the fuel filter, however I only had mine changed at the service back in March 07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater ))) |

Shakeapaw, Is the 23.1 mpg a calculated figure or the dash computer? If the latter when did you last reset it? An average calculated mpg of about 23 is what I see from my TDV8 over a mix of short hops and the odd long trip. On a long trip it's about 26.5 but that's calculated.

Another question worth asking, is the smoke trail all the time? I know vehicles that have been "chipped" tend to smoke on hard acceleration and from standstill if booted. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
