Is it normal that it uses a lot more fuel because it's new? it's doing 9liter per 100km (manual says it should do 6,2)
for comparisom, my old focus mk1 1.6 used just 7.8l/100km

Hi all,

I just have a question about power consumption in my car. I now have the following extras in my car which all use power:

Lumbar support
Heated seats
Ambient lighting in doors and console
Extra boot light

Now bearing in mind I only have one fuse box too, am I likely going to have issues with the car not being able to hand out enough power any time soon?

Thanks and sorry if this is a stupid questions

I've got a 1.3 CDTI and the fuel consumption seems really quite bad to me? The car is completely standard atm, yet out of half a tank I'm only getting 150-160 miles? I haven't filled it up yet, and I don't really do it unless I need to, but I can't see why it's so bad. The car has FSH and was serviced 11 months ago. Any ideas?

A few months ago my car started consuming around half a liter more of diesel on a regular basis. I thought maybe it was the winter weather, but the winter was very mild here in the end. Now the temperature is usually pretty high, as we are approaching spring, so I'm having a hard time finding temperature the problem.

I waited to see how the car will behave after doing a yearly service - oil change, new oil filter, fuel filter, air filter and also changed the timing chain oil tensioner because
