Just spent a fortune on front suspension rebuild (genuine Audi and Bilstein), front brakes (again, but properly with Ferodo this time!), fluid and filter service including new MAF sensor (genuine Audi), MOT etc etc etc…….. and a cheeky Stage 1 remap, all done at a very respected garage here in York.
They discovered that a poor remap had been done in the past and the DPF has been gutted.
Before it went in to the garage, the performance was decent, but rocked on cold tick over and MPG was about 35 on B roads to work ( 30ish miles each way) and 40 on motorway cruises.
Now, the remap has improved midrange power- not massively, but then I can't compare to standard.
It still rocks about on tick over until the temp gets to 90 deg., and the MPG has not improved one bit. Some people thin I should be getting 45 on the B roads and up to 65 on the motorway - is that right?
Before I go back to them on Tuesday, any ideas - coolant temp sensor maybe?

and as for the remap Rick has done an excellent job.
