Welcome Mikee! I'm also a diesel owner, you'll find plenty of info on here. Plus I think there's a few Cupra's on here too.  :smiley:

Where about it Haggis Land are you from? I'm not far from Edinburgh.

Aha, Leven you say. I went to view a black golf TDI there before I got mine. Have been up around the area a few times (Elie Holiday Park, Chain Walk etc).

The 140 TDI I have is pretty good thanks. I was gonna get Jim at Star Performance to map it for me but Shark performance had a cracking price on maps and STS units.

He has a really good reputation with Audi's, especially fast RS models.

In terms of torque, my remapped BKD (same as the Audi A3 I presume) has plenty. Over 300 lb/fts. :driver:

I do regular trips to Dunfermline to see the gf so am averaging 51mpg. :happy2:
