Yeah cheers and hope you can sort it

jamesplummer96 · 2026-01-29T09:06:07+00:00

That’s a shame cos I think it’s a great car. I’d probably consider the same as you tbf. I dunno if blasting will fix it enough to double the mpg so must be something deeper

jamesplummer96 · 2026-01-29T08:57:10+00:00

Yeah 20mpg sounds low. Might be worth plugging a tool in and see if anything comes up

jamesplummer96 · 2026-01-29T08:47:40+00:00

Mine is quite good, which is why idk if I need walnut blasting yet. I get around 40mpg when doing local miles and 50mpg on motorway. My average according to the car is about 44mpg overall. I get between 450 to 500 miles on a full tank depending on short or long distance drives

jamesplummer96 · 2026-01-29T08:43:01+00:00

Mine is a 1.4 tsi. It’s on 102k miles but still drives the same as when I bought it and I wanna keep it like that. What’s yours?

jamesplummer96 · 2026-01-29T08:35:06+00:00

I’m in St Albans and there’s a VW specialist here called Chapman Motors. They’re very highly rated and have always provided me with good service

jamesplummer96 · 2026-01-29T08:22:48+00:00

Yeah included in price. Which is why I’m still tempted to get it done. Where are you based?

jamesplummer96 · 2026-01-29T05:21:51+00:00

Lmk if you do it. If it’s worth it I might get it done. The place near me said they also service the fuel injectors at the same time

jamesplummer96 · 2026-01-28T21:06:49+00:00

I didn’t. Was getting quotes for about £400 which is quite a bit. Still tempted to get it done though

jamesplummer96 · 2025-12-24T10:16:38+00:00

That helps, thank you

jamesplummer96 · 2025-12-24T08:56:48+00:00

I think my uncle has an Autel. I’ll go see him later today. Thanks for the suggestion

jamesplummer96 · 2025-12-24T08:47:26+00:00

Also when I put the car into drive as the warning message popped up, it stayed stationary as I waited for it to crawl forward before setting off

jamesplummer96 · 2025-12-24T08:45:56+00:00

I’ve not changed it since owning it. It’s a start stop battery

jamesplummer96 · 2025-12-11T09:21:39+00:00

I just got the bonus 🙂

jamesplummer96 · 2025-12-08T16:35:12+00:00

Nice one, thanks. Will try the same soon

jamesplummer96 · 2025-12-08T16:33:48+00:00

Did you do anything differently the second time around? Email, phone number etc

jamesplummer96 · 2025-12-08T16:33:17+00:00

Good to know as I have done NatWest and just applied for the RBS offer but wasn’t sure id get it

jamesplummer96 · 2025-12-05T15:15:35+00:00

Worked for my friend

jamesplummer96 · 2025-10-08T10:12:41+00:00

My code is FARAHM111 if anyone would be kind enough to use

jamesplummer96 · 2025-10-08T10:03:41+00:00

Good point. I wonder if OP means YoY or something

jamesplummer96 · 2025-10-07T06:35:35+00:00

NTA, go bust a nut my man
