Nafeez2125 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Hello guys, I have recently imported a glanza V stock, but i am a bit concerned about the fuel consumption. i am getting 288 to 300 km on one full tank. i was just wondering if you guys are getting the same millage and if not what can be the cause of high fuel consumption? Thank you Guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Manual or auto? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 This cold will effect the fuel consumption, if you have a after market ecu that will effect it check to see if you have.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nafeez2125 Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Its Manual Mart, Ive notice something Gainzy, When i drive it normally the engine temperature needle stays like 1/4 or below doesnt go 1/2. do you think my thermostat is gone or its the cold weather?

Nafeez2125 Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Ive checked the ecu, its not aftermarket Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Needs a new thermostat thats prob why its fuel consumption is so high. It probably is never reaching temp and there for is constantly over fuelling. Id advise you to change it asap before a simple thermostat causes more long term damage.

Nafeez2125 Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Okay, will do that asap, does your temperature gauge goes halfway and stays there? and also how many km do you get with a full tank on a stock glanza v (only mod is k&n universal air filter and HKS Bov)? Thanks Guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
karl. Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I get roughly 260miles to a tank in my Glanza. That's td04 at 0.7 bar with mixed driving. Usually short journeys of less than 10 miles so it never really gets a food run. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Guys I dont know how much mileage I got on mine when it was standard. but would be more than 200 miles then again it depends on driving conditions if your on the motorway youd expect far more. Yes it should go half way and stay there. Nothing to do with cold weather. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nafeez2125 Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 I do mostly city driving (you know how London is like lol). longer drive will be on a dual carriageway (A406, A12, A13) that's it. so 300 km will be 186 miles, that crap compared to what you are saying. do you guys think the thermostat is the only culprit?? Ive just ordered one from ICP, fingers crossed i get it before weekend Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aleximport25 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 i usually get 100 kms per tenner of fuel on average, thats with td04 at 0.6 bar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 i usually get 100 kms per tenner of fuel on average, thats with td04 at 0.6 barThats about 28mpg which seems about right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Could always check for ecu codes. See if anything else is flagged up. Can be done on your drive in 5 mins.A good service and check of all the simple things wont go a miss. Timing, compression check etc will let you know if anything else is wrong. The o2 sensor could cause over fueling which is something id consider replacing. The other thing that may cause it is the ecu coolant temp sensor, but usually this shows other more noticable symptoms first so wouldnt worry about that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aleximport25 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Thats about 28mpg which seems about right.You mean 28 smiles per gallon 😂I do get pretty good Mpgs on motorways tbh It's better than the mrs's sr IF I drive steady Haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Stolen this from tgtt.com you are looking for the diagnostics socket, on a normal ep82 it sits on the rear right of the engine bay and has a plastic cap over it. Black box near nearside strut tower on ep91s i believe.to put the ecu into diag mode with the car off, first using a paper clip or similar you have to bridge out the TE1 and T1 connections.then turn the ignition on,don't start the engine. if there is a fault the ecu light flashes a number of times that will correspond to a fault code listed aboveeg3 flashes, pause, 1 flash would indicate a code 31. If its a steady repeating flash its fine.Either pop on here of google 4efte ecu codes and you'll get a list of them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 stock 4efte should get 480 to 520km to a full tank ( normal driving ) but thats country side Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shelly_star Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 My standard glanza i can get about 250-300 miles out of a tank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nafeez2125 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 hi guys, Got the thermostat today gonna change it soon but guess what i think i found something interesting that might be causing the problem. i found a leak on the vacuum pipe on the fuel pressure regulator. what do you think guys will this cause more fuel consumption? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks na less as the fpr would see less boost so flows back more feul to the tank more pressure closes the fpr more , hence more feul tru injectors so a crack in fpr feed pipe will lessen the amount needed going more eco ha ha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nafeez2125 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Just an update guys the old thermostat was stuck open it was like bend. replaced it and temperature gauge goes halfway and stays there now. dont know about the fuel consumption yet . will let you know after using a full tank.
