Worth getting codes read I reckon.

They aren't the most economical engine, but can normally return 33-38mpg on average... (assuming 2.0dti)

Will it not paperclip or pedal trick test???

I used to get 45mpg on my old 2.0 DI (90 bhp version)

I don't know if it will work on the Veccy, but, could be worth a try... I am fairly sure someone will confirm whether or not it will work...
