Progress thread : White Astra 2.0 Cdti Sri vx line

[andy2174]

This might be of interest to someone who has a 2.0 Cdti or someone looking to buy one.

I religiously record all of my expenses and fill up records using acar app.

After 11 months of ownership and 15k miles these are some facts I have.

Mpg.
Best 49
Worst 43
Ave. 46

Bear in mind my travel is about 80% motorway and the other 20% is enthusiastic driving.  

Ave. Litres per fill up. 49.9
Ave. Miles per fill up. 504

Racechip has been in over the last 9-10k. No noticeable difference in consumption. I possibly give it a bit more welly.

Ill be interested to hear what you think of the smoked covers when they arrive and are fitted

Will do. Decided not to go for the darker/black ones. Preferred to be seen during the day and not just at night.

Interesting on your MPG, mine to start with was giving around 44mpg, then I changed my working hours to travel non rush hour and it increased to around 51mpg, since fitting the racechip I have been averaging around 53mpg

I do tend to use the acceleration up to around 65mph and then switch on the cruise control to and from work

I am toying with the idea of fitting an induction kit, (either a dbilas or an open filter on a js performance silicone intake tube) however, both are a bit extreme and involve removing the airbox........................
