hello my 1998 2.0 gls auto is only getting 200 miles from a 60 litre tank, i have changed the air filter, plugs, oil and oil filter, new tyres e.t.c is this average for my car??

My automatic 2.5L sedan gets about double that if I drive carefully, so i would say your mileage is way off. You could try resetting the ECU, but likely the problem is a sensor (such as the O2 sensors) on its way out. There isn't always a CEL when they are failing.

How much are you actually refilling when you get 200 miles? 60L is roughly the total tank capacity, so...

i refill any where from 50-60 litres at a time, and is there a way of resetting the ECU at home??

take the positive off your battery for 30-60 minutes.... reconnect it and you've reset your ecu
