As for the fuel consumption I'm going to assume you mean 2km/litre, because if it's the other way round, you have a *major* problem. That translates to around 15 miles/gallon (UK), which is about half what you should get. Most likely causes are a leaky/stuck coldstart valve, or faulty fuel injection unit (the mechanical metering unit). -- Grunff
