Excessive fuel consumption 2001 Freelander.

Recommended Posts

My Freelander is a 2.6V6 petrol motor. It has been consistantly using around 55 litres of fuel every 350km. Lately it has got worse and I am only getting around 230 to 250km per tank. Has anyone any suggestions where to look? The car has recently been serviced but it made no difference. Thanks.

Could be a load of things:

Underinflated tyres;

Dragging brakes;

Failed coolant temperature sensor;

Thermostat stuck open;

Collapsed catalyst or exhaust-baffles;

Failed Lambda-sensors.

First thing I'd do is get the engine fault-codes read.
