ok, i bought a 97 golf gti 8 valve a month or so ago, the one from phil at autokraft, and im not to chuffed with the fuel economy of the car, im basically getting about 90 miles to 20 quids worth of fuel, which coming from subaru ownership seems excessive, so firstly, is this excessive or not and if so, what could be causing it??
im guessing its a case of checking maf is working properly, and obvious stuff like holes in fuel tank or hoses etc etc, but is there anything these cars are known for that would cause the fuel usage that im experiencing.
other than that the car go's quite well, and drives quite nicely, although im pretty sure there is either a wheel bearing or cv on its way out as there is a vibration of some sort, but apart from that would like to get to the bottom of the fuelling issue and start enjoying the car properly.
any help appreciated.
