« on: 07 March 2005, 18:39 »
Just wondered what sort of mileage other1.8T owners got from a tank as mine seems to be using quite a lot :sad:

From a full tank I get around 280-300 miles motorway driving with a bit of panning  :grin:

As for town use, I can stretch to around 60 miles for ?10  :wink:

Well you've all made me feel much better.  I normally get around 280 to 300 but i have had 330 on the motorway.

While we're on that subject, i have a motorsport developments chip which was fitted before i bought the car.  It's a 99T and i wondered if it would be possible or worth my while getting that changed for something like a Revo.  Would that make any difference?

hard to say without seeing a dynoplot.. most AGU maps are similar, but revo is known for giving you a great big whack of torque from 2500 - 4750ish rpm.

Would it be easy enough for the mechanic to remove the uprated chip?
