More Oil Burning

Car :

Skoda Fabia VRS. Basically a VW Polo with a cheaper external body and the 130hp TDi PD engine from various VWs Audis and SEATs. Gearbox is 6 speed manual.

Mods so far :
Dual Mass Flywheel basically gave up so I replaced it and the clutch with a Single Mass Flywheel (SMF) and sport s clutch with a view to "chipping" it for more power. No chipping done so far as I'm now after more MPG. Clutch rattles though.

Planned Mods
None at the moment apart from removing any cr@p I can find. It has white seats and I have an 8 year old child. These are not compatible so I may have to do something about either the seats or the child.

I haven't driven for economy so far and my average MPG is around 45, but I'm after more.
