What is the actual fuel consumption of the Mondeo 1.5?
1 Answers
There are currently 2 models of the Mondeo 1.5T available for sale: the Luxury and Fashion models, both with a combined fuel consumption of 7.3L/100km. The above figure is the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 9.63-12.03L/100km. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Clean engine carbon deposits: Excessive engine carbon deposits are a significant cause, primarily due to the use of unsuitable fuel. It is recommended to add a certain amount of cleaner when refueling. If the effect is not noticeable, it indicates a large amount of carbon deposits in the engine. In this case, the car must be taken to a 4S shop for professional cleaning of the carbon deposits by technicians. Check the oxygen sensor: As an internal control unit of the car, the oxygen sensor mainly monitors the fuel-air ratio of the engine. Once damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the fuel-air ratio, leading to a sudden increase in fuel consumption. When the oxygen sensor is damaged, the exhaust pipe will emit darker-colored exhaust during driving, and the sensor should be replaced immediately. Regularly replace the three filters: During vehicle use, the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter must be replaced regularly. If not replaced for a long time, they become dirty and send incorrect information to the engine control unit, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion and increased engine carbon deposits. Check the electronic control unit: Although the engine's electronic control unit is highly reliable, in older vehicles, various faults may inevitably occur.
