Go back and poke him in the eye! I take it he didn't do it on a rolling road etc.... Does it kick out any black smoke when you gun it?

Have you put it on vag-com for any faults? What engine code do you have?

Or take it back to where you had it mapped and get him to log your maf results

something liable to be wrong with your car not the map there mate, know two people with maps from red dot. both excelent maps and both had no problems, one is a grande punto with 187 ish bhp and 310lbs torque ish. cant remember what sort of power the other lad got but know they both got good gains and kept the same mpg as before (or got better if they didnt drive heavy footed)

as for mpg this mornging i was geting 15 mpg at first when the weather was cold but that was stop start stop start ect. after 5 mins when i was cruzing at 50 mph i was getting about 35 mpg.

I got 345 miles to a full tank when i went on holiday the other mnth that was with 5 people in the car and a rammmer boot ! (all motorway/country lanes)

now its shocking lucky to get 20mpg but it needs a service cambelt and thermostat so fingers crossed that sorts it out

I regularly see 220 miles tops to a full tank, the joys of living over here and the short journeys.

If I take a trip over the water I can see 330 miles to a tank and that's with the occassional play too

On a recent trip down to Cardiff i got 370 miles on a full tank (think i put £62 in it).

Last night, drove to the cinema and got it up to 40.2mpg, never seen it that high before.

On average, it's around 33-36mpg and that's a totally standard car. (Milltek tomorriw thou :))
