For those who know me, and whom I've talked to about it, I pretty much always said the SG was not accurate on TDIs. Well, I may be taking back that those comments in the near future.
I have had intermitent MAF problems with my car ever since I've had it, but I recently traced it back to a botched rewiring job done by the previous owner. The PO wiring job left MAF wires semi exposed down the loom, and they would quite often short the signal. These problems caused the ECU to think my car had minimal airflow going in and throwing the mpg readings out of whack, and cutting power out!
I have since done a proper wiring job and mpg readings have apparently been more consistent. I still need to do proper testing between highway and city driving, but it looks more accurate already.
BTW, I'm just waiting for the next economy run to rig up an external tank to accurately measure the fuel used. I know how I'm gonna do it, I just an incentive to do it.
