I think thats bad i had a n reg 2litre galaxy and i would put 20 pound in and get around 90 miles from it my tdi will do 150 to 20 pounds

Mine is diesel and I don't know if you have a MAF or an injector loom but I cleaned MAF sensor with iso-propyl alcohol spray and replaced the injector loom and my fuel consumption is now as when new (from what I remember) as is performance. Don't know if it was the MAF sensor or loom change but if I knew what I know now I'd have changed them as a matter of course ages ago. Been doing a trip numerous times over the past four years 95% motorway and MPG on the dash computer has gone from upper 40s to mid 50s on the flat. Not a scientific measurement I know but significant to me.

I would give your galaxy a good service, one thing you need to appreciate is she is a heavy bus, more akin to a van I have the original sales brocure for the Galaxy and the TD when brand new were reported as 57.6mpg at a constant 55mph and the 2.0 was 40 mpg for the same speed, the ONLY real test of correct mpg is to fill the tank to full drive your trip (in this case 290 miles)then fill the tank to full again note down how many litres you put back in then divide that by the 290 miles travelled this is 99% more accurate. Currently as prices go up daily at the moment so Edited August 16, 2011 by Amarok

HI Guy's,

 

Sorry for jump in! :-)

I also need advice on my Galaxy 2006 1.9 TDI 150PS. What should be the fuel consumption of this car? May be I am not getting what it supposed to give!

 

Thanks and appreciate for your advices in advance.

 

Kind regards,
