dannyboy 0 Posted August 2, 2010 hi guys After driving back 750km from passau in germany i noticed that the fuel comsumption real world was alot worse than the display. the display said i was getting 7.6l/100 when i was driving between 100-110 km/h but the tank was empty after 420km!!(brimmed tank!) :shock: So with a little time on my hands it was time to investagte!! :scratch: Good place to start,the exhaust! Bingo!!! Overfuelling quite a bit! Right time to find problem :brickwall: found one prob Only the most important hose on the car!hose was very soft and internal diameter is bigger due to wear. So off to VW to get new hose.Came next day 8 euro After last time i got a hose i decided to check length(last time they gave me hose 96cm long!)excatly 1m 8) Then out of curiousity i put the old hose and new hose together and found a shocking discovery Old hose was two cm too short New hose on,took her for spin and.... all good again.......until next time :norty: Which i/c should i run guys? this one? or this one?

Supercharged 2 Posted August 2, 2010 Heh - yeah that hose is important and well worth buying a new one - good pics! I don't know what it is but every original one I have removed from a G60 is 2-3cm short of what it should be - maybe they shrink with age / heat?? 2-3% is not hard to believe...
