Hi all

I have just picked up a new 1.4 TSI SE Plus. Very please with the car but I am a little concerned about the MPG. I am averaging 32/33MPG from a tank full doing ta combination of both town and motorway driving.

I have only done 600 miles so far. Could this be because the engine is still tight or is there something to be concerned about.

I am keen to hear from other 1.4 owners to know what MPG you are getting.

Not a 1.4tsi owner I'm afraid, but for comparative purposes for all Yeti-ers to be, my 1200mile Tdi 140 auto does 38mpg local work (shortish few-mile runs and on hilly roads - north york moors) and did 47 when I picked it up and drove it back from Wetherby to Whitby a couple or so weeks ago.
32-33 sounds a bit on the low side for a 1.4 to me.

I would antisipate at least 5K before you start getting a true MPG

I have a lhd 1.4 tsi from the computer over 91 hours of driving it shows 37.6 most of this is short trips in town traffic with the air conditioning working quite hard

After around 6,000 km, my 1.4 TSI DSG has settled down at 6.3 l / 100 km on the maxidot - equivalent to 45 mpg - presumably still better than 40 mpg after allowing for maxidot optimism.

This is a mountainous area, straight bits of road are rare, and I have quite a heavy right foot.

Consumption on flatter runs (along the valley) is around 5.5 l / 100 km (i.e. over 50 mpg) - IMO pretty impressive for such a tall and fairly heavy car driven briskly.

As this post originally was posted in 2012, it will be the somewhat rare previous 1.4 engine not the current 1.4 TSI 150.

INTERESTING ALL THE SAME.MY 1.4 DSG KODIAQ WEIGHING IN AT 1.5 TONS AND AT 2400MILES ONLY IS DOING 30 ROUND TOWN AND 40 ON A RUN WITH A MAXIDOT AVERAGE OF 35.4
