Bg244....

[jason61c]

Well its got some fans on here so I thought i'd give it a go. Can ordered and waiting for me to fill the car up on Sunday.

Currently averaging 41.5mpg since i've had the car(6 weeks/1500+ miles). New job starts Monday and was the reason I got the car. On long trips I seem to get about 44.5mpg, this is driving normal with a slightly lead foot.

EGR cleaned the day I got the car.

What should I be looking for with the bg244? Better MPG? Quieter engine?

For what it's worth, I know they're are some 220d haters on here but I like mine, its got a few quirks and the gearing is strange but its good on fuel, goes well, drives nice and isn't a BMW/Audi. its going to be earning its keep now doing about 600miles a week, i'll post my findings on here about the bg244 and any issues I have as I put heavy miles on her.

In my experience on a is250, BG improved my city avg by 4 MPG and made idling very smooth. The most drastic improvement was in the rate of deceleration when I let the throttle go. There was a noticeable improvement in engine noise too.

The popular opinion seems to be that BG is most efficient when you are expected to make short runs. On longer runs it will be in and out of the system too quickly.
