2.0 D4D Fuel Range

[frankie406]

Filled the avensis to the brim around 49.7 litres and range said 380 miles? It's a 2.0 d4d avensis 2006.

The 2010 auris 1.33 gives me 420mile range.

The fuel tank capacity is ~60 litres. However, ~9 or 10 litres of that is "reserve" & the range seems to count down to "reserve" & not empty.

The older computers tend to be quite variable & not as accurate as the modern ones. Obviously mpg is going to vary according to where & how you drive.

frankie406 it goes by recent driving so if you had been doing a lot of urban or short driving it would have used that to calculate. Removing the Battery leads will have wiped that & after you had put the leads back on if you were doing more economical driving > extended range display.

Yes mate the missus drives it does just short town driving most of its life.i tried to give her the 1.33 auris for town driving but wouldn't have it.so I'm using it for long motorway journeys.

I have been driving t27 d4d avensis now for 3 months and think I have a few sender problem. Car reads empty and when I fill up to the brim it only takes 37 to 40 litres.

I've been told removing the Battery terminal will reset the computer. Dies anyone know if this is true?
