Just the standard service except I got them to change the fuel filter as well. No tuning was performed at all.Strange thing is, the car feels like its got a fair bit more poke than before the service. Surely dropping the oil, replacing oil and fuel filters wouldn't make any difference to performance? They didn't even change the air filter as I have an aftermarket one fitted. They don't flash the ecu during this service do they?Has anyone else experienced this or can explain it?

Any reason why you asked them to change the fuel filters?

You would be surprised how much dirty fuel you pick up around the traps.
