The wife's A4 cabriolet has the same engine and returns mid 30's on day to day running (which is short commuting trips) and I've had 40+ on decent runs to Scotland etc. I know there's a few hundred kilos weight difference but I'd expect to see you managing 30+ to be honest.

I have tended to think they're snake oil, but yeah, may be worth a shot or too.

Yeah, I would too. MPG has definitely got marginally worse since I bought the car late 2014. Has the A4 got a slushbox too?

Possibly. I may have become a bit more 'spirited' with time, and maybe chilling the f**k out would be good.

If you are going the route of "snake oil", I have used a product called Dipetane a few times that I've found to back up most of it's claims on the bottle.

Whacked a new air filter in, Mann from Euros while they've got the 30% sale on still and put some Wynns snake oil diesel injector cleaner in the tank. Check all the hoses for vacuum leaks. Couldn't find anything and guess I'd get errors on the dash and in VCDS if there were any (?).

See how the old girl goes.
