Also don't forget it being winter you're driving around with lights on, heating on etc. which all have an effect on it. But must admit I've noticed mine coming in around 43mpg recently when 6 months ago it was nearer 47 (seems to be quite difficult to jump past the 47 mark even on long distances...

How do you force it to happen? I thought it just did it when it needed to when the engine was hot enough (ie long motorway journey at 80!)?

Nope! Difficult to see what's going on down there and didn't even think about it to be honest! Noticed a few months later but never got round to sorting it out. There a pain in the ar5e from what I can tell and have read on here. Was hoping it'd be a cheapish job to buy new nozzles to clip onto...

Afternoon! I'm new to this forum but have found it a really helpful & interesting read. I'm looking at switching to Audi and an A4 in particular. Was originally looking at the B7 but I've started to notice some fairly decent B8 S line's coming onto the market under the 15k mark. Anyway...
