Before my family expanded I had a 06 Leon from TDI, with dpf, egr delete, full exhaust and remap. On a B road it put a smile on my face every time!

As the dpf MOT change was coming in and now having 2 boys the time came to get a 'sensible' car. So the mk 3 Oct VRS (very roomy n' spacious) estate TDI came along. 

It fits the bill perfectly for family life but on B road blasts it constantly leaves me wanting more. 

What have people done that might bring my smile back?

Also has anyone ever seen a quad pipe exhaust? I've always thought the Merc GLS 63 AMG had good looking pipes!

The Merc also had a V8

Err... looking at what you did to pep up your Leon, I think you answered your own question in your 1st post.

And the fuel cost similar to running a private jet

Change to petrol. Even a remapped diesel vrs is still a bit dull. I know because i made that mistake a year ago!

It would be first choice but having a regional job it's just not an option :-(

I do around 500 business miles a week. The increased fuel eco is offset with the higher fuel price and lower fuel expense rate. The real cost difference is negligible for me, so a petrol engine next time without hesitation.
