Did you see the fuel log ?
Its engine is obviously in better shape than mine - despite the obvious fact that the S40 has has a hard life.
It gets better FE in all conditions except cold starts - that's the effect of the lightweight oils in mine. With a few tweaks, I can see this car consistently returning under 4 L/100km (better than 59mpg).

Any news on Hägar's health? Do you miss him?
|
The airco on the S40 isn't working properly, and it's been a sweltering 33°C , so yes, I miss
Hägar a bit
Hägar reportedly has an issue with excessive EGR - though the EGR-valve has already been replaced under warranty early in its life to (not) cure a bucking problem while regenerating the DPF.
Too much EGR will also reduce power on partial load, which is what I felt right away, and what I've been seeing on slight inclines where
Hägar dumps in far more extra fuel than the S40 - wether it's on CC or not.
Snert responds a lot better to switching off the CC uphill as well.

How often did the S40 go through DPF regen cycles, compared to your V50?
|
After 200km , 240km , and 280 km.It's about due for another cycle.
It's easy to miss it happening on the S40 though, as the regen is really smooth and almost unnoticeable compared to my V50 - Only the SG shows it happening.
