Power Loss.......Bad MPGs 2001 180 coupe (46,800mi)
Up to Audi TT Forum
I was driving north to Santa Fe from Albuquerque yesterday when I noticed the fuel consumption starting to change. I was dramatically decreasing by about 1/3.
While I wasn't pushing the vehicle (65-70mph) I still could feel a decrease in pedal response as well. It was still driveable but it felt like it lost its high end.
I wasn't using the Turbo at all and was running the engine between 3,000 to 3.500 rpm.
I have a Bentley manual but thought I'd ask for any feedback before I start snooping around on it this weekend. While Chilton Manuals can help you troubleshoot a problem I don't see that with Bentley.
Any place to start other than the Spark Plug wires and the MAF?
Could it be a Fuel Filter?
(I've had the car about 5 months and have put 3,000 miles on it)
Thanks,
