Doing a fuel consumption test in an Audi A3 1.5 TFSI COD - Cylinder On Demand - (MY2017 / 8V) with 150hp. The engine has a displacement of 1498cm³. The car is fitted with a 7-speed S-Tronic dual clutch automatic transmission and front wheel drive.
For an average, exact calculation look here: www.spritmonitor.de/de/detail...
Aim of this test is not to give an exact specification of the fuel consumption of this car, but to show an approximation of the fuel consumption under real life circumstances.
As the result also depends on tyres, size of the rims, road condition, weather and equipment that may alter the exact weight of the car, your personal experience may differ from mine.

[@barkinsahin]

Thank you for such a useful real user test. Drive safe and cheers

[@HansKuhlmann]

In the City 6-10 liters are possible, it depends on the traffic and where you drive. The cod works from low speed in a small gear up to 130kmh, you can really save fuel if you use it properly.

[@juugeli8517]

The car is amazing specially here in Finland where I live. We have a lot of roads where you can only drive 80km/h and the comsumption is really low on that speed. I think realistic city comsumption for this car is around 6l. Depends how you drive and what is the environment. You need to remember that everything is about how you drive it, this car consumption can also be something else if you don't know what "economical driving" means.

[@dragospahontu]

What is your long term fuel consumption?

[@mareksz4272]

Super test.

[@johanstjern4118]

How is the new 'atkinson' 1.5 tsi vs the old 1.4 tsi in terms of driving dynamics? I have a Passat 1.4tsi 2018 model and think it's great, whent to Stockholm and back (1000 km) on one tank and averaged 5.2 l/100km.

[@sargeaap]

Notice Cod only works under minimum load cruising speed that's way it deactivated after 50 -60mph so what was the point of the high speed test if your using all four cylinders?

[@vvarioPL]

Is there any chance that you will test consumption of new BMW 530i xDrive? I’m really interested in it.

[@nsoper19]

how do the valves switch off? Is there some sort of variable valve timing mechanism?

[@Gabriel-km2xi]

Reset average fuel consumption for each speed, then show the average from the dashboard.

[@umayrmunim8105]

My mk5 gti does 23mpg in london city driving. 37mpg on dual carriageway at 50mph. Thought this would be better in inner city

[@Ottomojo]

Gemiddeld aantal kilometers per tank ook ongeveer een 750 km’s?

[@charlesmacgilchrist3648]

How do you calculate the city consumption as you said 10l/100km when the computer said 7.5? 10l/100km is very heavy for a 2300lb car with stop/start and running on 2cyl/750cc most of the time. In 1975 the epa rated an 8200cc 5500lb cadillac at just over twice that - 11mpg us!

[@ukaszcioek364]

I think those measurements are not well made. The computer shows average value as a number and temporary consumption on white horizontal gauge.

[@Gtaplayer325]

Yes.. 10l has to be a mistake.. on spritmonitor.de (like "gasmonitor", also available translated in english) VERY GOOD SITE for fuel consumptions, this engine averages at something like 6,8l city.

[@markosormaz503]

@@Gtaplayer325 I am driving 1.5 tsi DSG, heavy city traffic, easily 10 l, but, 7.5 is also possible with the more careful driving with a lower traffic intensity

[@SOV3r3IGN]

nice engine, it still consumes 20% more than 2.0tdi 150hp in real life

[@Digi20]

which is quite astonishing for a petrol engine - you will have a hard time coming cheaper in overall running costs with a diesel then.

[@HansKuhlmann]

@@Digi20 That's right. In the past the petrol engines cunsumed 2 or 3 litres more than the Diesel.

[@dragospahontu]

Where? TDI is so unreliable

[@dragospahontu]

Toyota D4-S is as efficient as diesel

[@ferhatarslan5542]

i had same car, almost 3 year, 48000 km average is 7,4 L/km.

[@MM-tt7hy]

Wait, you're saying that cilinder on demand works by closing the valves. Are you sure? That would mean that the other two cilinders would have to work to compress the air in the two closed cilinders.

[@Ferferrol14]

No, because the air inlet is closed for those 2 cylinders so there's no air to compress for them

[@gregdandoulakis6667]

ADVICE , REV THEM UP , BECAUSE CARBON WILL BE BUILT. WHAT EVER YOU SAVE FROM FUEL , YOU WILL PAY FOR REPAIRS. THE ENGINES SHOULT REV MORE THAN 2000RPM , AND OCCASIONALY MORE THAN 4000 RPM. THATS FOR ALL GASOLINE ENGINES. LOW REVS PUT LOTS OF STRAIN ON THE PISTON RINGS. THEY GET LOOSE AND WORN , AND THEN THE ENGINE BURNS OIL .

[@MrNaicul]

Thanks for the video. If you were to compare 1.4TSI with this one, which one do you think it' s better?

[@AOTanoos22]

well the 1.5 tfsi is the successor of the 1.4 tfsi, so it should theoretically be better. But if it really is better in terms of reliability etc. i don't know.

[@mesutduru9723]

Mine is 1.4 tfsi 150hp COD ULTRA model and has got better fuel economy than yours.I did not understand why this 1.5 tfsi engine has got 1 litre more fuel consumption than 1.4 tfsi :S

[@toni6057]

Perhaps because of the particulate filter. Thus, the new engine needs a slightly larger displacement to compensate the power loss.

guys what do u think, im consider to get a 1.4 tfsi a3 with cod from 2015 but it got already 80.000km. should i "risk" it? :P

Finally a video😁 you were missed 😁

[@guitigefilmpjes]

I got so much interesting material, but too few spare time to edit it... :( But thanks for the compliment, it makes me feel appreciated that I am missed. :)

[@segoiii]

most important question when it comes to a VAG car: is it long term reliable or will it constantly break after warranty with horrendous costs ?

[@bencrosbie]

segoiii id say itll give some trouble and sting you after warranty but id end up trading it in before that 😂 id still have them theyre lovley cars anyways. Vags are fairly reliable when minded thats down to the owners.

[@segoiii]

@@bencrosbie This ... "Vags are fairly reliable" ... is contrary to this "id say itll give some trouble and sting you after warranty". I personally don´t think that VAG cars are reliable. I think that in terms of technical reliability they are garbage.

[@argo5730]

Mine turned 5 in october, only thing that had to be fixed in 100.000km was the lock of the fuel tank, which refused to open at some random times. Perfectly happy so far

[@dragospahontu]

Ea211 is tank

[@ZeybekTHR]

My a3 sedan 2.0 TDI is a month old now. Doing almost 800km's with a full tank (about 40L) on highway.

[@kalkoeng6325]

no disrespect or anything but that isn't that much, my dads a6 2.0 tdi (wich is heavier but also has a bigger fuel tank) easily gets 1200 km out of one tank on the highway

[@damiandynski1804]

@@kalkoeng6325 A6 has a 73L gas tank. So how is the A3 not good? lol it literally uses less diesel than the A6. simple maths. 40L = 800km - 73L = 1200km -- 40L + 50% is 60L - 800km + 50% = 1200km... the A3 can travel the same distance and still keep 13L worth of Diesel...

[@sebsdabaws]

What is the fuel consumption in the Audi A3 2.0 tfsi (190) compared to this?

[@SuperAless112]

7-8l/100km

[@HansKuhlmann]

At 200kmh you consume twice as much as at 130 kmh! But that engine is quite economic compared to cars of the eighties or nineties. An average consumption of 6-8 litres was ok for cars with petrol engines of 70-80hp. Only Diesels consumed less than 6 litres.

[@guitigefilmpjes]

With this car I achieved a 10.000 kilometer (calculated) average of 5,97l/100km.

[@HansKuhlmann]

@@guitigefilmpjes You see, that's good for a car with 150hp and more weight than the old cars had.

[@user-dc8yo2hs3j]

[@vladmihai306]

1.9 TDI ALH from year 1998 consumes 3L/100km at 80km/h in 5th gear. That is called progress...

[@segoiii]

Diesel consumption got worse because of DPF and NOX stuff. The less consumption of the newer engines in NEFZ is fake. It´s betray.

[@dragospahontu]

Diesel pollutes

[@Microname1000]

TDI the best

[@gk51171]

honestly i see very similar consumption with my golf VII 1.4tsi 160hp

[@JackKing12.]

I find my 2016 1.4tfsi to be a gas guzzler...around average 45mpg and that’s driving sensibly in comfort mode...

[@charlesmacgilchrist3648]

That's actually very good I had a pug 106 with just 1.1l and 60bhp that did less than that with speeds rarely over 60mph on the motorway.

[@Mr_Glenn]

That's nothing, dude.

[@Red-Melon]

45 mpg is not a gas guzzler, but Mk7 Golf GTI only gets about 25mpg. I'd be happy with 45.
