2004 1.9dci - Sounds like tractor and poor MPG - Mr M
My 2004 1.9 DCI has started to sound like tractor when first started in the morning also has started to have poor MPG.

Have changed Oil&Filter and air filter at regular intervals. Once warmed up it runs fine for the day, but strugles to do 40mpg when it used to average 50ish.

Help would be much appreciated.

I know its 7 years ago, but did you ever figure out what this was?

I have exactly the same issue and it's driving me mad.

Many thanks.
