1999 2.0 hdi very very poor mpg - pugmpg
Hello All

My pug is giving me very poor mpg around 40miles to £10 diesel. Iv'e checked for leaks and there arnt any.

The other day i had it diagnosed by an electrician with a modis first it showed ecu error he then cleared it and told me that the egr is not working shows no othr fault codes apart from a break in the glow plug circuit which is strange as it starts fine.

I have had the fuel rail changed a couple of months ago as it developed a leak other than this no other parts or sensors have been changed.


Any ideas?

Might be worth having the injectors themselves checked. If they are sticking open, they will be dribbling fuel in to the engine. Do you have a fuel injection specialist near you?

The injectors have not thrown any fault codes and there is no excessive smoke. But i will have em checked.
