  • A fuel efficient S2

    Is it possible to modify(the ECU) an S2 to be super fuel efficient in normal driving but still have a kick on WOT? What sort of mpg would it be able to get?

    Trying to justify a second S2 - an avant - you get free slippers with them don't you

    Cheers

    Mihnea - can you remap a 2001 Polo 1.4TDi??

      It should be possible to lean the compromise out for economy if necessary - it might affect mid range and part load tractability, but the full on 1.4bar boost could still be achieved at WOT with suitable fuelling for overtaking.

      I wouldn't dare suggest a figure but getting close to 30mpg average *might* be possible though I've never really researched this aspect - suggest you get a 2.5TDi A6 Avant if you want something that will do 100mph all day and still return 40 mpg.

        Rob,

        There is an Audi run up north in a few weeks - the 26th July - We start in Dundee and drive up Glenshee to Aberdeen - brilliant picturesque drive - and it's fast. Interested?

        I'm in Dunfermline and work in Edinburgh - give us a shout when you are up.

        Interested in seeing the Westfield - I've been looking at the megablade as a(nother) fun car.
