from what i've read (not 100%) its meant to stop your EGR getting clogged up  :undecided:

but i run Total Excellium and run half a bottle of Forte Diesel treatment through every 5K miles and mine isn't clogged at all  :smug:

sweet, take it you own a 130pd? whats that like with your foot planted?  :smug:

i do indeed - lets say its quick - just ask Rich, Bob, Ivor and Steve of what they thought  :wink:

also ask Max GTI who owns an Anni - he was surprised at how well mine went at the top end  :cool:

also returned 58mpg on the way home from Swindon too and on my way to work i see above 55mpg - thats since having the R-Tech map  :cool:

Very quick and smooth pull right up to the red line :smiley:
Bob even reckons it sounds good
58mpg on the way back  :shocked: I got 37mpg  :cry: Hopefully sorted now tho.
Wish I got mine mapped sunday now  :angry:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
