Thread: my D2a TD5 is a pile of dog poo!

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,,,

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.
Cheers
