    Default L per 100km

    Hi,
    I was driving around and on my trip computer on the L per 100km option i spotted that it jumps from 17L per 100km to 25L per 100km in 30sec to 1min intervals, i even spotted it twice at 35L per 100km!
    Does it normally do that, anyone have this problem?
    Cheers.

    could be a speed sensor error or blocked fuel system/dieing pump causing the injectors to open longer to correct fueling and the ecu is seeing it as feeding in heaps and thats what the dash gets its readings off .pure speculation but its quite possible

    Does the pump become noisy when its on its way out?
