Hey Phil I have a similar issue with my TD5 Defender. It has never done any better than around 550kms per tank and often more like 450-500. Best mileage has been around 14 litres per 100kms. Have replaced MAF etc and can not find any cause noticeable. Should really be getting 600-700 per tank.
TD5 supposed to be a better engine than the tdi, well that is rubbish, my tdi disco used to get about 850-900kms per tank.
well, there's nothing really wrong with the shape, age or specs,,
mybe its just the silly fuel,,,:angel:
is the throttle working correctly.......?
and the throttle butterfly.........?
Is it blowing excessive smoke?
With that sort of consumption you'd expect it to be pumping out a fair bit of soot.
well in my td5 fender, i can easy get 10s, and if im been a boy racer beating pootrols she drinks it at about 13max, i got a big map, 21psi boost, muddies 32s, bars, draws in the back, so not that light anymore,
It may be an ECU map issue. Could be worth having it flashed to a known good std map after saving whats in it now.
However, i would probably check various sensors first and see if you have a dud somewhere. If you have done the MAP sensor then this can be discounted.
Could be something simple.
Sticking it on a Rovacom may be in order also.
