True if you have the aircon on full blast continuosly it will have a
significant effect but when do we need this amount of cooling in the
UK ?

Sounds about right. The official combined figure for your car is 42 mpg and
you're unlikely to achieve that. The auto robs quite a bit of mpg as the
combined figure for the manual is 51mpg!

That's quite a penalty. Does anyone here have a 2.0 TDi DSG who could
post some real-world figures?


I get 42 City/49 Highway in my 99 Jetta TDI Manual

That's useful! Your car isn't a 2.0TDI and it doesn't have the DSG gearbox

I managed 44-46ish from a 2.0 TDI Audi A3 with DSG box.
- Nice car but crap transmission !!

Rather belated reply, since I have only just needed to brim the tank for the
second time for accurate figure ;-)

Brand new Sk*d* Octavia Combi 2.0 TDi DSG bought mainly because it's an
economical way of getting that powertrain, recorded 39.8 mpg (calculated,
showed 41.4 on computer), over mixed driving while taking it gently to run
in. Now showing 48-49 on a decent run. If I remember, I'll update group
after a few months.

This is my first diesel car, and so far I really, really like the DSG, but
the engine is inevitably noisier than my previous Passat V6 Syncro (back on
topic). Passat averaged 26.93 (calculated, always brim to brim - call me
anal if you wish) over 114k miles. On original clutch, BTW. Awesome car,
but awesome bill when waterpump failed.

Really? I'm very pleased with the same powertrain in a Skoda. What didn't
you like about the DSG (apart from changing into Neutral when "upshifting"
from D thinking one's in Tip mode)?
