Hi all.
I have a question regarding fuel consumption.
I have a panda 4x4 mk 3 2013 with the 1.3 multijet diesel 75 bhp.
Sorry this is in Kilometres...
Last time I filled up the odo was at 129,700 km. The reported range was 600km and the average consumption was shown as 14.8
km / ltr.
Therefore, I expected to fill up at 130,300 km.
I maintained the average consumption rate at 14.5 to 14.9 but had to fill up at 130,000.
I've long thought that the car was thirsty.
Recently it has had sticking front brakes....which has been intermittent...or, so I thought !
We also have a panda Cross (2015 ) with the same engine but 80 bhp...we get 17 to 18 km / ltr from her.
Other than a slight, very slight, stutter on acceleration, usually going up hill, the car runs well and is powerful.
Could this poor consumption be down to sticky brakes ? If so why would the computer report such wildly incorrect fuel consumption.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
