I have a 2013 D4 AWD which has been "Polestarred" and the difference is chalk and cheese!
Its not only the power and torque increase but also they seem to tweak the gearbox settings as well making changes much smoother.
If you shop around you should find deals on the upgrade...

Disappointed with the power. I thought 190bhp would have been not too bad. Also the MPG is not good from what I have seen. I have only driven 30 miles in it, mostly motorway apart from 7 miles it is 30 mph. The display showed 34 mpg !! Shocking. It better improve.

Wish the sat nav was touch screen but everything else okay at the moment.

Maybe not the tone intended in your post but I think you are expecting too much out of a car in its first 30 miles. I know they dont need running in these days but...really!...! what did you expect... Also the gearbox if it is geartronic needs to learn your driving style.

Front sensors came fitted to mine. Never had them before but agree I'd spec them now if an option. Although info find the nose shorter than I expect it to be.

Typical of a 2.0 diesel in a big, heavy car.

Unless you drive like a vicar on a Sunday morning you won't get higher than mid 30's.

Even worse with petrol engines. I'd get better economy out of a 3.0 v6 SUV than I would with the same car with a 2.0 petrol turbo engine fitted.

Hi Kev, he has the AWD D4 so it's the 5 cylinder 2.4 D same as mine

You in a bad mood Kev? Owners quote a lot higher for the VEA 2 litre, not that he has that engine, if you check the first post he said he has the five pot.
