If not filtre, it could be a split turbo hose. Dealer has just had a lot failing all around the same VIN number. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

I have been having similar problems during this cold weather spell.. average MPG from the OBD was usually between 26-28mpg now it's struggling to get past 20 
Had it in with a local garage for MOT Prep and they commented that one of the brake calipers was sticking, hopefully it will improve again over the next few days

Mines usually shows an average of 24-25 mpg running MT/Rs, but this past couple of weeks with the weather and short journies, it's been showing an average of 17.3 mpg (actually 13. 4 mpg). ATB
