solar flares?

(sorry, no idea... Unless the MAF was grimly and they cleaned it)
I would ask what they did... Or what they normally do as part of the service

ECU flash when they cleared any error codes.

Beause of the extreme humidity, high temperatures and high dust content, our cars are NOTICEABLY different in the winter months vs summer months. So maybe the default setting is "quicker, louder" vs the Dubai Summer setting. Your car will slow down over the next 2-3 days as it "remembers" how crappy the weather is.

The same happened to my MKII GT3, they just changed Oil and Filter and seems fast, responsive and louder. i do not think they made any software updates since they would tell me. and they changed the CL as well

Aha - THANK YOU, so I am not the only one. Weird indeed.

Same in South Florida a crisp cool day feels like you have a supercharger. That plus you get soft driving your other cars ;-)
