Greetings VW world,
I've encountered a few things in concerned with and would like to know whether I'm paranoid:
1. Fuel consumption suddenly seems high
a full tank will tell me i have 450km on the limit. I am not driving like a hoon nor granny and my average fuel consumption on the mfd ranges from 40ltr per 100 but will drop as i drive. currently I've done 100km and the fuel gauge is 3/4 full (1/4 down) so it's not just the mfd?
Which brings me to
2. My average fuel consumption on the mfd resets every time i drive. never noticed this until now. Is this normal?
3. On uphills when in drive, as i start from a full stop (at a red light for example) on a few occasions the car wikl roll back but the gearbox will make a little noise before driving forward. It doesnt happen all the time and the noise sounds but sounds like metal rubbing against each other but not crunching or grinding. Is this normal in the DSG?
Any help appreciated
Cheers
