Grand Sport Adblue mpg

[Minuteman]

just done a little over 4000 miles since I got the Grand Sport and a message has just flashed up saying I have 1417 miles left in adblue tank.
I'm assuming it was filled up when I got it (tho wouldn't bet on it) so I figure that makes it about 5.5k per tank full?
How does that compare to all you other 2.0TD GS owners?

PS I get adblue for £6 for 10 litres trade, spotted Carplan 5 litres in Asda for £5

If it is of interest I get around 7K miles for 15L of Adblue on my conapny Audi A6. I'm paying 70p a litre from the local truck supply business.

At that sort of miles I think your car has not had recall done on it, Before mine was done I used to get 7-8000 miles between fill ups but now since the recall was done I get 2500-3000 miles now
I had update done as I got free ad blue for 1 year but now have to buy my onw
Hope this helps

Just had message popped up which means its used the 5 ltrs I put in in just over 1750 mile, the car is on the motorway for 95% of the time and is not used at all on short runs (have old car for popping to shop) most trips are at least hour long.

This will be because they were cheating the emissions standard and are now drowning the exhaust gases in adblue to get the emisions low again

My 2016 had the adblue update as i was buying it. They told me not to worry as they would sort all that out every year at the cars service . Shame there isnt a way to monitor levels.

There is a way to monitor the levels..................................look at your bank balance dropping because it means you're buying shit loads of adblue

I will mention it when it goes main dealer in for service next friday.

when my car was in for a diagnostic they said the emission update they were doing on the cars actually meant the adblue consumption goes up considerably

Yes that's true, more adblue less naughty emissions . At least it just means more adblue and not a loss of power like some manufacturers.
