125000720 - X01 EXCESSIVE FUEL CONSUMPTION

The engine appears to running smoothly, but the fuel consumption is higher than previously recorded during the life of the vehicle.
The consumption data in the vehicle technical documentation has been defined during the course of homologation tests in accordance with directive 93/116/CE. These tests simulate an urban cycle and an ''average'' extra-urban cycle and therefore may not be indicative as consumption depends very much on the style of driving.
