What is the fuel consumption of the Touran 1.8T?
2 Answers
The Volkswagen Touran 1.8T has a fuel consumption of approximately 8.4L/100km. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel consumed by a vehicle traveling at a certain speed for 100 kilometers on the road. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated under specified speed conditions to derive the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data for the model. Below are some methods to save fuel for the Touran: 1. Maintain the optimal fuel injection advance angle: Taking the commonly used 195-type diesel engine as an example, the optimal fuel injection advance angle is 16-20 degrees. After prolonged use, due to wear, the fuel injection advance angle may decrease, leading to delayed fuel injection and significantly increased fuel consumption. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the fuel injection angle remains at its optimal value. 2. Ensure the engine does not leak oil. The diesel engine's fuel delivery pipe often leaks due to uneven joint surfaces, deformed or damaged gaskets: The solution is: apply valve paint to the gasket and grind it flat on a glass plate to correct the fuel pipe joint; add a diesel recovery device by connecting the return pipe on the fuel nozzle to a hollow screw with a plastic pipe, allowing the return oil to flow back into the fuel tank.
I've been driving the Touran 1.8T for several years. In daily city driving, this car consumes an average of 10 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers, and can reach around 13 liters when stuck in traffic. On highways, it's much more fuel-efficient, roughly 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers. The car has an MPV body type, which is relatively heavy, and coupled with the 1.8T turbocharged engine, it has strong acceleration but consumes more fuel. I used to drive a sedan, which was much more fuel-efficient, but the Touran can carry more people and has more space, so I find the extra fuel cost acceptable. If you drive long distances often and use cruise control on highways, you can save even more fuel. Overall, the car's fuel consumption depends on how you use it. As an experienced owner, I'd advise you to avoid stomping on the accelerator—developing good habits can save you a lot of money. Also, regularly checking small things like tire pressure and air filters can prevent your fuel consumption from inexplicably spiking.
