Re: CRD Fuel consumption
Good day gents. This is very interesting to me. I always thought that the Crd Di would have slightly better feul consumption than the Di and then the improved reliability of coarse. In fact i have been waiting for the right Crd to come along so i can change to a Crd but this makes me seriously reth...

Re: CRD Fuel consumption
Hi Steel Thanks for confirming. My previous vehicle was CRD. I got similar readings when towing a trailer. I did drive to Durban without a trailer once but with 5 people in car, lots of lugguage and got less than 7km/l :lol: however I was doing 120 km/h speeds. If driven in a reasonable speeds I thi...

Yes, you MIGHT get 1 or 2km/L more, but.... - The cost of the vehicle will exceed this saving fo...

Re: CRD Fuel consumption
Hi Rahul I do not have a CRD and once had a Di. The Di gave me around 8km/l with roof rack, but averaging around 100km/h. Currently I have a GQ with 4.8 Spitronix conversion and manual box (and 4.375 ratios), fully kitted similar to your 4.8 and at 100km/h I average 6km/l. If I push is harder, it d...
