I have had this car for a little above 2 week's now & the fuel consumption seems to be excessive...my mechanic checked d indomie & confirmed it was intact...

I will really appreciate suggestions frm experts or some1 who has an idea as I don't want the mechanic tryin anything that comes to his head.

Is the check ON? If yes go for a scan.

Don't waste your hard earn money in fixing what is not faulty .subjecting ur car to road side mechanic for trial and error mode of fixing will pose more threat to or car .
Try to scan your car and submit the scan result here for accurate analysis.
Fuel consumption issue can accurately be fixed by accurate diagnostics tru scanning.

firstly you need to tell us the engine configureration one, 2 what is the spec or grade of oil you are using,3 is your radiator fan ranning direct ?,lastly did you notice check light comes up at all? send reply, am waiting.

Or better still bring your vehicle for comprehensive diagnosis. call 08038042709

I will google it now.

My vehicle (peugeot 406 EW10 2.0 litre engine) does 900km on a full tank of gas 75liters. My car runs perfectly, no malfunction indicator on, I crossed from the northe eastern part of nigeria to lagos without having any fuel consumption issues. On tuesday I drove from ogba to marland ikeja and back distance of 24km in very crazy traffic (over 5hrs ) and from my calculations I used up almost 20liters! Now 20liters on highway would have taken me over 220km but I ended up getting only 24km in city driving actually I never got out of 2nd gear, I literary crawled the entire journey.

All I'm trying to point out is the traffic conditions can make you feel your car is a guzzler when there is nothing wrong with ur car.

P.s To remain sane in lagos I'm getting me a bike.

what do u mean by the bolded. Put on ur ignition without starting and see if check engine light comes on. If it doesn't, then it has been blocked. That means u may actually have a check engine light on.
