Fuel consumption and foggy windshield
Hey guys,
Bought late 2010 520D estate, with 60.000 Km on the clock and everything is fine except two things. I have a feeling that the fuel consumption should be a bit lower. I have only 566 Km on the computer since I bought a full tank, which is about 12 litres/100Km (36 mpg). And when I look at few reviews of this car or official data, it's always between 5-8 litres / 100km (cca 65 mpg). I hope that it's not something serious. And my second problem is foggy windshield. Sometimes the windshield is very foggy and takes about 5-7 mins to clean it with the fan on full blast. I didn't have this problem with my previous car (Mercedes 180C coupe). It is a bit annoying. Thanks for any help. cheers |

Fuel consumption should be Much lower! I've got 530d and it consumption is about 9 litres/100km, although don't ride as a fragile and often stand in traffic jams.
One of my friends got 520d/MT and about 6 litres. Foggy windshield often associated with clogged filter, check it at first. |

In terms of fuel consumption, what is your daily driving routine? If mainly city based your consumption seems ok. I have a 530d and use it for inner city commuting, I get 27 mpg and do drive the car pretty hard.

If you are, is the system capable of cooling, or could it have a fault? Other users have had condenser issues. HighlandPete |
