2012 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Santorini Black

MPG after service

So just my 2012 SD4 HSE serviced.
Straight away i notice the MPG is worse ? Before service about 360 miles until fuel light came on at 320 !? Now i know my right foot is heavy but the car has been used the same way and with the same journeys as before.
After a month the MGP is slightly better at about 340 until my fuel light goes on.
Anyone else had this after a service ?

I. for one, no, but instead I've noticed the increasingly cold weather lately...

2009 Freelander 2 TD4_e HSE Manual Lago Grey

likely the mechanic ( and I use that term loosely ) took it out a test run and gave it a good thrashing.

the ecu memorised the driving style and has estimated the mpg on that.

how many miles was put on it while in for the service ?

3rd service they do not change the Airfilter
I called in and picked up a new one and fitted it when I got home.

No change throughout the whole of last year hot and cold so the weather isn't the issue.

I'll have a look at the filter.

I am guessing there must of been an ECU reset or upgrade to change the millage so much ?

2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Firenze Red

Take it back and complain. Our MY13 is quite different than the previous one and its the same engine so its all to do with that little "black box" set up.

Have you a differing tyre profile on now as that can make a difference. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
FL2 MY13 TD4 GS Current

On later models the air filter is a service item on all services I think you may find. At lower mileage a bit of a unneeded expense but a dealer should be changing it. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
