i did mention consumption, it was 13.8 to 14.8 per 100km city running.

have done the filter change, injector and intake cleaner bit,
i did mention all this earlier.

after ECU reset its now at 13.4 after 300 km, which will increase as K's rack up.

I know i wont get single digits but it would have been nice to try getting down to around 13.00 per 100km city.

Just been looking at the 2014 KL Cherokee 4X4 limited 2.0 TD.
they do around 7.1 per 100km city.

Thinking of actually down sizing to the KL instead of the caddy
that will almost halve my fuel cost at the least, and i still have my creature comforts.

don't really need a van, just a half decent cargo area,
which i will get with the back seats folded down.

caddy is reported to be a bit rigid in the rear when empty.
