Re: Re-mapping

I have decided to continue as is for at least 6 months to get a better idea how the car is now. As regards insurance ,my brother in law purchased a nearly new seat car ,got it remapped by a company near Belfast and got excellent results. Improved mileage, more power and lower emissions.

Re: Mpg

I have the 2L 4x4 manual diesel. I have just started to pay more attention to the mpg. In normal mode,with a gentle foot I can get around 50- 55 mpg . Using my regular style of driving I'm getting around 47 mpg. However in eco mode that drops to 44 mpg which I can't explain.
