Re: VW Diesel mechanic

That is rather poor mileage for a TDI that young, you should be
getting closer to 50 on the freeway and around 40 in the city. For an
average of around 44-48 mpg. You might want to see if you are getting
adequate fuel flow you could have a  clogged filter and the computer
is getting starved, of course I would think a warning light would come
on. Where are you getting your B99 from?
