Fuel consumption test

Fuel consumption test

• disconnect the fuel delivery pipe from the quick-fit connector located against the rear wall of the engine compartment and, using the connectors of the test equipment 1860955000, make the connections to the Flowtronic device (1806149001) as follows:

1. Cut and withdraw the end (A) of the connector (2), then connect the end (B) to the connector of the rigid pipe (3) and the end (A) to the inlet pipe into the Flowtronic (4).
2. Insert the connector (5) into a piece of pipe (6) and lock it with a metal clip, then connect the end (A) to the pipe (1) previously disconnected and the end (B) to the outlet pipe from the Flowtronic device (4).

• carry out a fuel consumption road test in accordance with the Directive 93/116/CE (litres x 100 km):

URBAN CYCLE - includes one cold start, followed by a simulated varied urban journey.

OUT-OF-TOWN CYCLE - includes frequent accelerations, in all gears, simulating normal out-of-town use of the vehicle; the speed varies between 0 and 120 km/h.

AVERAGE COMBINED CONSUMPTION - includes 37% urban cycle and 63% out-of-town cycle.

NOTE The type of journey, traffic situations, style of driving, weather conditions, level of fittings/extras/accessories, presence of roof rack, presence of special equipment and the general condition of the vehicle can lead to different fuel consumption values from those measured by the above-mentioned procedures.

• check that the values measured correspond to those given in the "Introduction and technical data" section.
