loss of mpg and performance
« on: February 12, 2022, 04:32:54 pm »
car has been down on power and around 5-6 mpg worse lately, thought it was bad fuel but after using different station made no difference, 2 months ago i replaced injectors as 2 were misfiring getting fuel cuts, car was running like a dream until last week, no eml, i did add the rs4 return valve as i was planning to go loba, im wondering if somehow the extra rail pressure is messing with things, but i dont see how thats possible when it ran fine for over a month?
any ideas, chave checked dv, done the dipstick test with pcv checked hoses,
even when its off boost its lost mpg and performance, so im rulling out boost leak,

UPDATE,    seems to be coil pack related as i bought the lemark ones at £20 each they lasted about 15000 miles or 18 months so probably cant complain,
