Remap For Economy?

May I rub some salt in your wounds sir?

See att

Tiddles was bring her brother home from Jordanstown, got 65.?? on the way up and this 63.1 on the loaded ret journey.

Sniff!

I may need to recheck the validity of this trip computer.

But say less 10% (and the worst against carefully brimmed calcs was less than 7% previousley)

64-10%= 57.6mpg

Ooowwwww! That stings!! I do have a bit of goodish news. I've managed an average for the past 2 days of 46.1mpg, that's by reducing my speed from 120kph to 110kph (150 to 200rpm) on the cruise control and accelerating very slowly all on my daily commute. It's costing me an extra 5+ minutes each way, it's definitely giving an improvement on the motorway but it's still going to be crap around town. But 46mpg isn't 65 or even 57mpg. Dieseldogg, what model is yours?

 

Thanks.

Torq.

 

P.S. I've found a cheap 2004 megane estate, if it's still available and it doesn't snow too heavily I'll be making a trip north to buy it on Monday.

A 1998 110BHP TDI remapped to 124 BHP plus oodles of extra torque(alledgedly)

So 230,000 on the injectors (never touched) and 180,000 on the Exchange Injection pump

Not bad

Her can be a bit "stouchie" on acceleration but never mind.

Update.

 

Got her up to 49mpg over a week of slow driving but 46mpg seems to be the average now at a constant 110kph. I'm now thinking I'll keep her, but my head has been turned by a 02 320d touring with full leather and all the bells and whistles for about
