Picked up my Furby vRS after a 10K serice and it seemed a bit sluggish. Only an oilchange, but the battery was disconnected 'cos of other warranty work. I thought I'd read somewhere that the ECU memorises driving patterns so maybe the battery removal 'wiped' the memory? I hope to give it a good thrashing so the 'get up and go' is returned to the memory banks. Or am I talking out of my exhuast pipe? :confused:

Hey Phil. :wave:

What took you so long to get to 10k? :P

Yes, the ECU adapts to your driving. If the battery has been disconnected, the "learnt pattern" is lost and starts again from scratch. Once you've been through a couple of tankfulls, it should return to its get up 'n' go

Mine felt pretty sluggish after a 10k service too, but I thought I'd imagined it. Strangely though, after returning to it after about a month while it was getting fixed, it felt quite quick after that. Maybe the bloke in the garage had thrashed it before i got to it.

Does any one know if the PD100 ECU does the same? :confused:

I would have thought that all the ECUs do. The 1.8T's certainly does.

Hmm...so as most of my milage is round town, my mpg never seems to drop lower than 54mpg...on a run it got 70mpg last time. I tend to drive on the torque so my revs never go above 3000rpm so the ECU learns this? Interesting!
