Solent Superchips - any experience?

[notax]

I have just bought a 2010 Audi A4 Allroad with a 3.0 TDI engine and am considering having it remapped, probably with a Bluefin. Does anyone have any experience of the above company or Bluefin?

I had my Renault Traffic van re-mapped by Superchips, it goes like rocket, and I get about 43 mpg since the re-map. All in all I think it was worth the cost (about £400) as I buy my vans new and run them for about ten years so I will get my money back in time.

Interesting, what would the normal fuel consumption be then?

When I first bought it I averaged 38/39 mpg. The re-map transformed it, the 'sweet spot' with the torque was at about 2800 its now 2300.
I would hasten to add we do not carry full loads, change the oil with best synthetic every 9000 miles instead of 18000, good tyres and regular pressure checks etc.
When I use V-Power diesel every 4th fill it improves about 1-2 mpg. I have done several checks with filling the van right up and setting the trip meter and the results agree with the on-board computer.
One more factor we never normally fill the van up with diesel unless doing an MPG check as there is no point carrying around loads of fuel. I must have been a taxi driver in a previous life.

OK thanks for that
