Their tyres must wear faster than their fuel tank runs low

I have an mapped AGU.

In the summer i was getting at least 290 to a tank before i hit red now its much colder im getting 230 to 250 on short journeys and not a too heavy right foot.

I took it to my mate s garage and he put it on the emmissions tester.

It showed up it was over fueling when cold but once warm it wasn't.

He said as its much colder now the car is gunna take longer to warm up thus use more fuel and with the wrong heat range plugs in making it even worse.

His suggestion was to change the plugs to what vw  speced as a first to do as it hasnt got any fault codes

im gunna live with it for a while as its too cold.
