Thanks for the welcome MudFlap being a complete newbie what is DPF Model and is the bluespark tuning box one that plugs in instead of a perm remap.Welcome SparkyPablo, Its a funny one........ My own experiences are not great, but I think we all know how Nissan get 58 mpg, 30 miles per hour 5th gear on a zero resistance rolling road in a lab, which is not reflecting real world mpg!
Just to add to the mix I installed a bluespark tuning box and gained 5-7mpg getting me closer to the magic 50mpg mark, but I have just moved back to London from the free flowing countryside and now the stop start traffic has dropped me back down to low 40s! Amazing change!
It also seem the DPF models are worse, is yours DPF equipped?
I have the same and get around 24mpg but if going around 55mph, I have made it up over 30mpg. Keep in mind that the mpg average display is really accurate. Several times I have filled up at 9.9 to 10.1 gallons and drove around 240 miles and the display will say 28mpg average so it makes it look a bit better than reality.I've got the 2.0 litre gas (petrol for our friends across the pond) engine with the CVT transmission. I am averaging 24mpg. It's only a slight improvement to the sprinter van but wish the U.S. would have gotten the diesel engine. I'll gladly take 38-45mpg any day!
We do not have the option of a manual transmission or anything else but the 2.0 litre engine at this time. The NV200 is new to the USA for MY2013
Cheers mudflap thats a big help, I have justed had it serviced and the fuel consumption is still only mid to high 30 looks like I have a lemon of a van thinking of selling but what to get as a replacement.??HI Sparky, DPF model is the Diesel Particulate Filter - it seems they steel 10% mpg! But these have to be fitted to meet euro 5 regulation from what I have observed the older NV's without DPF seem better on fuel!
Yes Bluespark box is the one which plugs in - not a permanent remap.
OBD2 (diagnostic) port is to the right of the steering wheel, below the cup holder. The card holder panel pulls off to reveal the socket.
Dealers will always come up blank on MPG figures, I remember my other halfs Mini cooper Diesel quoted 80's but was lucky to see high 50's which we just lived with! After BMW said it had no faults!
Hope this helps.
