I have a 56 reg t180 and my fuel economy is pants 26-28 according to the dash can anyone give me a idea how to rectify it... heard about poss egr valve causing this... 

Also would it be a good idea to get a "TERRACLEAN" thru the system the guy at my local garage has said it would be a good place to start..has anyone used this 

Thanks in advance for help

manual or automatic transmission?

have you manually calculated the fuel economy?

what sort of journeys do you do?

Manual gearbox

£10 Diesel got me around 50-60 mile

Various journeys

depending upon whether you got 50 or 60 miles & what you paid per litre that could be low 30s mpg. The DPNR equipped engines are thirstier because of that 5th injector but normally would return a bit more (maybe 36-38mpg or so) but it could also come down to the type of journey -  short urban journeys from cold at this time of year are going to be very poor e.g. it took my car ~7 miles on dual carriageway today to approach normal operating temperature.

Hi I have a 2.2 dcat t180 estate 2006 and the mpg is on 32 the best I've had is 34 on a long journey. Which is aweful! It's my first diesel and I've owned a  3.0 petrol which did similar mpg figures But I personally don't believe this computer I'm gonna try manually calculating it then see!  

I am falling in love with the car though despite these mpg figures.

... Any one with a 2.2 dcat achieving more mpg?

09 D-Cat T180 estate. Never below 42.1 (unless pushed) that's now. best 49.2 on long run to kent, carefully! Generally I get 44-46 in summer. I live in the Peak District and all hills! I run premium diesel plus 2-stroke (mineral low ash) I think yours is very low mpg and would be really *issed if I got that! I do not use mine for short trips less than 10m and always gets up to temp so that helps I guess.
