Could there be error codes on it causing poor economy

My most common drive is too and from work which is only 8 miles, 3 of which is a back road, but I should be getting better mpg than that surely?


What improvements can I expect to see remapping it? Is it beneficial to remove the dpf? Or egr valve?

cars The 163bhp 2003 d5 model, Thanks Dylan.
Hi Dylan,
I have the model as you, 2003 D5 163BHP, and have a similar commute except town driving. I achieve around 26 on the commute. But had a 350 mile run between Xmas and New year and I was achieving 38.5 mpg these readings are via the trip computer, my brim to brim check did return close figures to these.
