Strange mpg is something missing??

Recommended Posts

my mfa reads up to about 65mpg most of the time. i believe there should be a vaccum hose going into the clocks but where does it go as all there is is a black block going into mine?

 

also while i had the clocks out there was a blue hella relay just lying there attached to a blue/white wire??

2.0 16V doesn't have the vacuum hose to the clocks. It's done from the ECU knowing how much fuel goes through the injectors... not entirely sure what other signals the ECU uses to tell the clocks what to display, but it's probably a VERY good start to check all of the vacuum hoses in the engine bay to ensure you've not got a vacuum leak there...

 

Blue/white wire is the speed sensor wire for the spoiler mechanism control unit, so it's either your control relay, or an old bit of car stereo wiring for an active volume control stereo...

Hi guys,

 

Im fairly sure that its only Vr's that re all done via the ECU. the 2l16v has a vac pipe to the back of the clocks or at least mine does. The back of those clocks dont even have the place for it to connect. COuld be a case of having later plastics? or maybe my car is odd :lol:

 

edit:i have a spear bit of rear plastic at home ill post a pic for ya later
