Just wonder if anybody has had the sort of thing I have the past month, explanation...
My Seat Leon 1.6 TD Copa SE DSG that I’ve had since new was 2 years old the first week of November and because the mileage is low had the second service at 10,000 miles on the clock.
Now here’s the odd thing, since the service the thing been going like a rocket and at first I thought that may be while doing the service they accidently change the gear mode somehow, however the DSG is in D and gear changes are normal as to how they would be should the box be in S mode.
This is great in one respect but as you can imagine the extra HP is at the cost of lower MPG and on average I’d say my MPG is down by 2 to 3 MPG. That said I do tend to get slightly lower MPG in colder weather so maybe come Spring I’ll have the power with the same MPG.
Nothing on the service sheet to say that they have done anything else but the second year service and the only extra parts listed is the renewal of the pollen filter.
Not too worried about it but just curious. The only other thing I could think of is may be the car had got sluggish since its first service that perhaps I did not noticed being a slow, over the year process, but I don’t think it has.
BTW I looked under the bonnet and I can’t see any extra horses under there.

but as the car is not mine I’m not too concerned so I can’t complain.
