330D Se Mileage

[blue711]

Hello guys, im new on here cos ive bought another beemer, 51 reg 330d se , its been remapped to 245 brake, only had it a few days and, its using a lot of diesel, the mpg needle goes to 0 mpg as soon as i touch the accelerater, is this right? it does hit 40-50 when cruisin along though, what kind of mileage should it get ? i put 30 quid in and its just done 100 miles

[mart77]

sounds like something is wrong to me mate.i put 30 quid in my 323 petrol (2.5) petrol and i get about 130 miles...does it smoke more than the average diesel?as in it it running stupidly rich?

Well that's bout 27mpg...

Depending, but if you driving style is heavy that's about right.

Your needed will drop right down as you touch the throttle and f your only noticing some at night your seeing condensation.

Wouldn't hurt to give her a full service and see if anything improves...

But as said...seems quite normal for. M57D30

[blue711]

why does the mpg needle go to 0 mpg though? and its not normal, just been speakin to a dude , recons his gets 150 for £20 quid,, 100 miles for £ 30 is 24 mpg ,, mmmm , maybe your right a good service , air filter etc would sort it a bit, but even hardly touchin accelerator , the needle shows 0mpg, can the mpg needle be trusted?

[G4VHD]

No ignore the needle, use the computer.

[blue711]

ive only had the cars 2 days , maybe once i get more used to it it will improve eh? plus its an automatic, with the 5 speed sport option,, i must admit to having been booting it a bit, although not too much really, im going to have diamond tuning do a diagnostics check on the cars ecu, maybe theres something simple up with it, or as you say a full service too, could be something daft like air filer , but to be honest the cars absolutely crackin

[mickl3008]

I have only had mine a month, and the computer is showing 25.2mpg. I will admit I have a very heavy right foot. My last car a Mondeo 2.2 tdci with a dreamscience remap done 30 mpg.

got around 88 miles just under a quarter tank, so i recon thats slightly less than 3 gallons, call it 30 mpg ,, thats not too bad eh? but on motorway its much better, wish i had got a manual car lol it would be easy 5 mpg better
