Hello All,
I recently had my 2006 Audi serviced (1st service since I bought it), I didn't want to pay the Audi service prices so chose a well recommended VAG dealer and was very pleased with the service. My question is would a service involve any engine management re-configuration/adjustment, i.e. hook up the test equipment and calibrate the engine management to it's stated values, the reason I ask is because the dealer from whom I bought the car said to always take it to an Audi dealer for servicing because they will setup the engine up to it's maximum performance - would Audi have done this as part of a service?
p.s. I am not talking about tuning or re-mapping here.
The reason I ask about the above is because I have never been happy with the MPG, I go down to Cornwall each year from Sheffield and expected 50+ mpg driving steadily all the way, I probably just squeezed 45mpg, not bad but still a little less than I expected.
thanks, Mark.
