Definitely,  if I put my foot down I average 40mpg which is still good tbh. To get really good mpg I have to drive like a nun

Driving style : Knob head haha.
If you drive quicker then completely agree it's worse than before but on cruise control on motorway...? Better :)

Andy:
Mine  is better also but never achieved it thou as I like the sound of the milltek

I haven't mapped my CR 170 TDI (yet  :evilgrin:)

But have lots of mates with mapped diesels. Think Jay has the reasons pretty much wrapped up further up in the thread, if you want a bit more poke and a more flexible engine then a remap is for you.

Some people also have remap to support other modifications like DPF removal or EGR removal.

i have had many petrol cars and a couple of diesels , nothing better than mapping a good petrol turbo but my god the torque from a diesel is fantastic , got my gt sport 170 done and its amazing , 208bhp and 338 ft lb torque
