I've got a 2015 2.0 CDTI 140PS stop start and after it was serviced the fuel gauge seems to be dropping much quicker that before. The car has done 43000 miles and has just had the 4 major service. The trip shows it's doing around 40 MPG. It does do a lot of short journeys but it hasn't been dropping this quickly since we had it last October. Has anyone got any ideas?

who does your servicing?
mpg drops over time, my 2011 160ps diesel used to give me 650miles from a tank, now i barely scrape 500, my fuel filter is long over due for a change, egr valve probs could do with a clean, so many thing can affect the cars economy

that's a lot of servicing for a 2015 car with 43k miles on, should only have had an intermediate at 20k and full at 40k. Mine is 2014 on 54k miles and just had 3rd service. Just for your info, my mpg does not alter after a service, 163ps CDTI. Regularly getting 60+mpg on mine with mixed driving. Only way to tell is fill, measure and then refill to check on the mpg

I have only had the car since last year and the print out from the original leasing company shows that it had two services and the garage we bought it from serviced it when they had it.

Are you using the aircon a lot? That can increase fuel consumption by 5-10% on long fast journeys and 15-20% on short slow journeys.
Possibly also the various diesel-emissions devices aren't liking the short journeys. EGRs fill with muck, especially with short journeys. DPFs fill with soot, some of which permanently remains in the DPF after each regen in the form of non-combustible ash which gradually blocks the DPF..
