Hi guys,

I've got the 1,6 tdi. Has anyone full it more than 40 litres?

The manual says the the tank capacity is 40 l, 7l reserve. So is this a total of 47l or not?
When i go to the gas station and the trip computer shows 0 then it fills with 39,7 litres!
Does that mean that i am on the verge of running out or there 7 liters more on reserve?
Could the trip computer have this accuracy?
Just wondering..
If anyone fill it with more than 40 liters it would mean tha the tank is actually 47..

Thanks!

I think the 7l is when it starts nagging you to fill up and the fuel gauge turns red.
I took mine down to below 50 miles range with the red segment lit and it took 37l or thereabouts.
I'm certainly working on a capacity of 40l max.

This is no doubt a stupid question, but is the capacity the same for petrol and diesel vehicles?

Yes capacity is 40 litre

But there is also a CNG version (not currently on sale in UK) which has a small petrol tank for back up, and main gas tank where spare wheel well normally is.
