Peter,

As mentioned, the motive for my post was simply because I believe these Gen 4-1 motors can do better than what they are doing at present.
The figure I was getting was from OT air port to home. ie Over +- 25 km maybe a bit more. But this was at one specific speed / load. It takes some doing finding and then just maintaining the correct combination. I set the km / L readout and then watched to see where I got the best results and then maintained that. Travelling in slow lane (nobody else uses it), the very very lightest of throttle (about the first 10mm), do not accelerate or decelerate, time lane changes / overtaking, etc. It gets your driving skills and discipline going again.
I am looking forward to doing a long trip like that and then comparing the actual consumption to the indicated / computer readout. Problem is it takes one and a half times as long, to cover the same distance, so you need the time (and preferably no passengers - they just ruin the concentration!).

Manne ek weet nie wat aangaan nie. Vroutjie ry ons 2005 Pajero 3.2 DI-D werk toe. Ons bly in Benoni en sy werk in Fourways. So dis elke dag 110km gemiddeld wat sy ry Maandag to Vrydag werk toe en terug, partykeer in erg verkeer. Die vorige keer wat sy diesel vol gemaak het kry sy 9.6 km / L. Syt nou gister weer vol gemaak..... 11.3 km / L!! Sekerlik iets nie reg gedoen nie. Dalk het sy die km's verkeerd af geskryf? Of die Pajero nie heeltemal vol gemaak nie? Is dit ooit moontlik vir n Gen 3? 
. Sal maar sien as sy nou weer volgende week volmaak. Want sy kry elke keer so net oor die 9km / L.
. Sal maar sien as sy nou weer volgende week volmaak. Want sy kry elke keer so net oor die 9km / L.I have enough money to retire and live comfortably for the rest of my life.....if I die by next Tuesday....
Môre Balljoint
Ek kan jou presies sê wat aangaan. Jy ry `n 2005 Pajero wat nog die series 3 Pajero is met die gewone diesel pomp. Ek het drie van hulle gery almal oor die 100,000 kilos en was dit nooit snaaks om tussen 10 tot 12 kilo/liter te kry nie. Dit is die series 4 motors met die "comonrail" pomp waaroor die hele argument gaan. Met die Pajero GLX en Die Pajero Sport is ek gelukkig as ek 9 kilo/liter kry. |EK wag nog om my Sport te vat vir sy 30,000 kilo diens om te hoor of hulle iets aan die brandstof verbruik kan doen. Sal julle op hoogte hou.

Hi julle almal
Ek het so pas my Pajero Sport vir sy 30,000 kilo diens geneem en gevra dat hulle moet kyk na die verstelling van die pomp vir diesel verbruik. Dit is blykbaar gedoen en is hy nou slegter as wat hy was. Ek sukkel nou om meer as 7.5 kilometer op `n liter te kry. Miskien het iemand vir my raad waarheen om die Pajero te vat dat daar na die brandstof verbruik gekyk kan word.
Baie dankie
Hannes

Good Morning,
I currently drive a Pajero Sport 3.2 Automatic, and achieved an average fuel consumption of 11.4 l /100 km.
A week ago I fitted a Dastek Unichip but found that it made no difference to my fuel consumption, has anyone else had the same done? Does the fuel consumption a\only improve after some mileage is done with the chip?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Emile some chips have a learning function but I believe your chip is not that type and the only improvement will be from your driving style. These Gen4 motors are not as economical as I would have expected. Sadly the older technology Gen3 was more economical and or more powerful (my experience). So what I believe at this stage is that it will not get any better besides changing your driving style. We had all hoped to have a dyno day in Alberton in pursuit of improving fuel consumption (and performance) but that did not materialise.
Hi all. New to the forum but very much interested in this topic since I got my demo ps shogun being promised by the dealer that 8l/100km is very achievable. I have however only once ever got close to that figure...8.4l/100km to be exact on a drive to the bottom of the freestate. Ever since then my avg is 10.2l/100km and that has been very very concervative driving.
