Fuel economy wise, 2.0 tdi PD is the worst four cylinder diesel VW ever made.
According to NEDC, my car is supposed to get 50MPG extra urban and 42,7 combined.
Same car with 2 litre CR engine has NEDC rating of 58,7 extra urban and 48 combined.
That is with better gearbox, but CR engines are much more fuel efficient that old PDs especially 2 liter version.

Took me a lot of time to get where I am, but now reading about petrol engined Honda getting almost 60MPG at 60mph got me thinking if I shouldn't be doing much better
