just played with an A5 3.0L TDI, I don't think the guy believed it
you are certainly enjoying the extra power
Yes I am.
I would still like even more though
Only problem is I don't really see an improvement in fuel economy, and I'm not driving faster than before.
Last time I had a remap I saw around 15% and was really happy.
Dean, do you see an improvement ?
You can see my figures earlier in the thread. Up very slightly from standard when taking it easy

I've had a mk7 golf gtd and new octavia vrs and you could see both guys thinking wtf!

On my 200 mile motorway commute where i stick at 70 and a bit of 50 through the roadworks I got:
65.5mpg standard
64.3mpg 4+2
68mpg 4+1
On a 30 mile round trip I do each Friday which has a bit of everything and where I drive much harder I got:
54mpg standard
49.6mpg 4+2
52.9mpg 4+1
(I know this is a very small distance to measure brim to brim but I did use the same pump at the same station each time)

Well that is a good analysis !
I drive a lot but on many different roads so can't compare like that.
your commute is long enouth to do that.
Would you mind trying it in map 2 and 3 ? to see if there is a real difference ? That would be really helpful !

I would expect the 4wd s tronic to mirror the book combined figures and be about 10mpg down. 38 + 10 is not far off of my general driving figure of 49 on 4 + 2.
I don't really like 2 and especially 3. They make it more diesely. I cant imagine it would make any difference unless your are really driving it hard as 2 and 3 just adjust the high load output - the lower half of the map is the same.

Well the A3 is announced at 58 combined and it's BS ! even stabilized at 55mph I can't do it.
did you try 4 + 3 ?
did you try 4 + 3 ?
69mpg the leon I think, band B not D. I can only get that at 65mph when it's up to temp. Most cars over the last 5 years or so I find the combined figure is more like the best you could ever expect on a perfect run.
I find 65/70 better than 55 by the way.
Never tried + 3 on any map. You?

Well my last Golf did the announced combined figures after it was remapped.
Me neither, but there is someone on britskoda that is using it on his VRS 184

For any interested parties, we have the vRS booked into Motoscope in Northallerton this thursday. Well be running map 4 plus 1 on the dyno which produced 226bhp on Sharks Dyno which will give us some more pub talk
We will also be running a new file I've just written this afternoon that Ive just added to our vRS, initial thoughts are that at least on the road the mid range pull is a lot stronger and the traction control light needs a holiday
As soon as receive the info back from the dyno ill update this thread

we won't be running on plus 2 as thats not a setting i recommend.. I do know that one of the guys on Briskoda was running on plus 3, yet my car simply throws a wobbler.

Hi Andrew, as motoscope is a 2 minute walk across the road from me then I'm definitely interested. What time are you going to be there as sadly I need to be in York during the morning
