Citroen Xsara 1.4 Fuel Consumption Problems

[Guest medical]

Hello,

 

I have a "w" plate citroen xsara 1.4 which appears to love the petrol pump! I put 10 litres of petrol in the car and only get 84 miles worth of travel before i have to re-fill. As it is only a 1.4 i would expect better fuel consumption. Can anybody offer any advice?

 

I recently dropped 'red x' into the fuel but to no avail. I tested the car and ran out of petrol at 84 miles...

 

Thanks.

get yourself a new set of plugs [ BOSCH SUPER 4 are the best] and also get the engine management checked it sounds as if that is the problem, so called 'crypton tuning' is not an option on a xsara.

 

has your car got a cat' if so putting 'red x' in will clog the platinium filters up DON'T PUT IT IN.
