Call me paranoid but since I got my 7.5 performance back from its second main dealer service it seems to lack a bit of “grunt”. Vague I know but the only way I can describe it. Could it be that the dealer has installed a remap/update without letting on? As far as I am aware the car only had an oil change (supposedly).

It’s funny you should say that. Mine went in for a service a couple months back and I thought exactly the same. I was suspecting some update to “improve emissions” but thought I’m probably overthinking it.

Not sure if it is related, but my GTD is due its service in the next few weeks and as part of that there is a recall for 'the ecu' to be done as well I was informed!

I think the dealer will check to see if there are any software updates to be applied to a car when it’s back at the dealership for servicing. If there are any, then presumably these updates will be applied.
I can recall reading of cases where owners of remapped cars have had their serviced by the dealer and a software update has been applied that’s over-written the remap.

Happened to me with my scirocco but replacing map in this case was part of the contract.
My 7.5 had a software update to cure stop/start error. This was a tpi so presumably any software update should be listed?

My car had its 4-year major service last week and if anything it feels like it's got a bit more go to it, but I imagine new spark plugs, air filter etc would have that effect.
