Corrado mpg display - chad5exington
Im looking to buy a Corrado and have seen what I believe to be a good one. There is only one problem, the mpg counter on this corrado is saying that it is only doing 12.6 even when driving at 60mph on the dual carriage-way. Now my mate has the same tye corrado 1.8 16V 1990 and at that speed he gets 36.2 mpg. Can anyone enlighten me as to whats going on? Or what the problem could be? The other things on the digi display are accurate and there is no apparent petrol leak. Cheers

Common problem with the mk.2 golf. My mark two jetta said i was doing 10mpg less than what i was really doing all the time i owned it. Don't let it bother you. Its not really worth trying to fix either. I beleive some of the connectors/pipes behind the console can give problems.

Ben is correct. Dont let it worry you unless you get a strong smell of petrol!! My Mk 3 Golf states 12 Mpg around town, it actually gets around 19-20.
