Cuore Fuel Consumption

Forum: 

Hello, I have recently bought a standard R plate Cuore 850 5-speed which runs well and is in generally good nick but I'm only getting 29mpg which I think is shocking this size of motor.

It's only done 30K and has a 60% service history, engine feels a tiny bit lumpy when revved in neutral but I put that down to it being a 3-cylinder.

Does anyone have any suggestions before I go to an authorised garage for a diagnostic.

PS anyone know where I can get a service manual for it? If not some basic service data (plug gap etc.)

Thanks

We've got a W reg Perodua Nip

We've got a W reg Perodua Nippa (850 cc 3 cylinder injection engine, 5 speed box), which I guess is related. Tickover and inching forward in traffic are a bit lumpy, but no problem once you get the revs up. It gives about 50 mpg, town and country work. 29 mpg suggests something is very wrong.

Service manual? Ask your local Daihatsu dealer, but be prepared to pay something like £75 for it.
