I for one definitely feel my car is down on power at the moment - I don't know if that's a temperature thing or something else (my emissions control light has come on YET again), but it definitely doesn't feel as 'perky' as normal.

I'm considering the APS re-map, but only on the condition that we do a rolling road both before and after - as I want to see what the actual output of the car is at the moment...

I was hugely embarrassed by a Lexus IS250 the other day that flew past me like I was stationary.... Or maybe it was more the case that at -2 degrees, I was waiting until I was out of the corner before getting the power down, whereas he felt sufficiently confident (or plain idiotic) to get on the power earlier... either way, was very embarrassing to be passed so easily.

Turns out I probably wasn't imagining things (makes a change). A visit to the dealer to fix the emissions control light (yet again) has revealed that the car needs a new throttle body housing. Apparently, there is an intermittent fault where the valve is not opening properly - and that (they say) could account for loss of power.

Of course, this being an A5 part, it's on back order... so will update when the work is done.
