• Yes.

    @Hefty - that makes sense. Thanks.

    It all seems a bit odd, as economy is excellent when pottering, but falls off a cliff over 50. 6th gear just doesn't seem to provide the economy that I'd expect/hoped for.

    Oh well. My fear is the DPF is not helping and may be slightly clogged - so when exhaust pressure is higher, the economy suffers - though revs are still pretty low (2k ish) at 60 in 6th.

  • If you ask on any car forum the stock answer when you have an issue is "DPF delete". Same with other issues like AdBlue.

    In terms of a remap, it's worth asking a reputable garage. Supposedly remaps for fuel economy are more common outside of the UK. It makes sense that a car manufacturer would tune the ECU to work across multiple countries with various emission laws, so there is probably a little improvement hiding in there. I think there is a stigma with a re map, probably not helped by the marketing (stage 1, stage 2 etc).

  • DPF delete is removing the dpf (do they leave the shell - but just take the filter out?) and then reconfiguring the ECU? This is illegal right? Is it not picked up at MOT - or do you need a compliant tester? No chance I'm doing it - just curious - honest!

    As I've got the lowest tune, and the smallest van in the model line it feels like there should be more in there! Might try asking around.
