While working with a BSM extension through SARAH-SPheno, we realized that decay widths (W, Z, Higgs) and masses (W) are different from that of the PDG mean/best-fit values, even when no new decays are kinematically allowed.
e.g., 24 7.93401594E+01 # VWm (beyond 3 sigma PDG limit)
DECAY 23 2.52250152E+00 # VZ (beyond 3 sigma PDG limit)
DECAY 24 2.08627541E+00 # VWm (Not the mean value, 2.085)
To cross-check, we also did the same for the SM and got the following values:
e.g., 24 8.03483324E+01 # VWp (Not the mean value)
DECAY 23 2.51486862E+00 # VZ (beyond 3 sigma PDG limit)
DECAY 24 2.10612606E+00 # VWp (Not the mean value, 2.085, around 2 sigma limit)
Could you please help to fix these issues?

Hi, did you use the one-loop decay option for this?
