Does anyone have a GTD that has been Revo'd?
I am interested in knowing the differences that the tuning provides.
-
Have had mine revo'd after 1000 miles not had it on ramp since been done but makes as perfectly good car into a superb one. Over taking is a dream.........
-
Never heard anything so comical in all my days, a remapped GTD, f**k sake for the price difference from a GTD to a GTI, why didnt you just buy a GTI ? :grin:

I see this torch paper and I'm drawn to the light. :grin:
A revo'd GTD is 208bhp, a standard GTI is 210bhp
More torque on the GTD yeah, but it needs it, its a frickin tank.
Where is this faster bit you speak of ?

I bought a GTD because I wanted a GTD. If I had wanted a GTI, I would have ordered a GTI.
I like diesel cars - is that so bad?
Why is it comical for people to buy a GTD and get it remapped? If someone buys a GTI and gets it remapped they aren't slagged?!

On paper, the GTI is quicker but from my experience, the GTD is every bit as fast in the real world.

Oh for f**k sake, not again. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I suppose I did ask for it.
-
Few different reasons why people buy diesels.
For me insurance per year is miles cheaper. Tax is cheaper and the fuel is better as i live far away.
Just a few reasons.
-
You did ask for it :laugh: :laugh:
Can we agree that a GTD with Revo would be fairly similar to a standard GTI? :smiley:

Well, becuase your buying the GTI's b!tch, the GTD. It's the wannabe GTI owner's choice, its the smogheads choice and its far slower choice to own. It's comical to remap a GTD when really you should have just bought a GTI. There wont be much difference when it comes to speed and there wont be much change. I find it really comical because..... well, go hijack a truck, take it straight to revo and remap it, then try and drive that remapped tank around the streets fast. The clue is in the word tank.

I'm hurt :cry:

It terms of speed yes probably. But thats all, your handling will be worse with that extra power.

please make this last till 4pm, I got a meeting then.
-
Why did I open this can of worms again?
My car is a company car so instantly the GTD is a better option.
I don't do big miles but I chose the GTD because of the drivability and torque.
-
Can I ask why people are bumming revo on this forum. There maps are f**kin wasteman they dont fkin work like they should. It seems like every1 on here gets occasional power loss. Yet Revo know this and keep selling the map. Jokers IMO

This is the kind of thing I need to hear. What other options for remaps are there?
-
I dont see what all the hate about the GTD is from. Its a Diesel what do you expect supercar performence? In a Race over 500 miles I bet the GTD would make it there 1st Standard vs Standard. GTD would romp past whilst u were still in the petrol station haha.
Im starting to hate my GTI, If its not some nagging girl sat next to me so moaning like f**k about high speed driving around junction 27 its revo's shocking map cutting all my power away. Where is the fun to be had? :rolleyes:

You are aware the GTD requires more torques to move the thing ? to base your buy on torque on a diesel is even funnier than revo'ing a GTD. Without the torque you have on there, the heavy bastard wouldnt move. :grin:
-
I'm hurt :cry:
Do you know what, I'm a dick. I wouldnt get that way over what I say. :grin:
I just like an argument before a big meeting.

What does a GTI weigh compared with the GTD, Manual vs Manual obv..

I think the GTD weighs a tonne of bricks and the GTI a tonne of feathers.
-
I can understand why people would buy a gtd and then revo it because it gives it the perfect combination as fast a a gti with gti styling but with 50+ mpg. A standard gtd of course wouldnt be as fast as a standard gti but having had plenty of chances to drive both I would say the revo gtd is quicker than a standard gti as have pulled away from our demo gti many a time.
Lets end it here all he want to do is make he gtd a little faster so he can keep up with fatherless sons (kev) in gti's : )

I've discovered where your big meeting is.....at the VW dealers to discuss swaping to a GTD.
Some might think I josh but I have it on very good authority that this is true.
So, the truth finally comes out.......Kev loves GTD's........good boy, I knew you would be turned eventually.

I don't mean to offend anyone with this but the GTD is a perfect everyday car. Evo1986 is spot on with his comments.
I swapped from a 320d and had the choice of a GTD/GTI/Focus RS/C30 but went for the GTD.
AlanD, you are in love with VWKev??? :shocked:

I am.
I used to want to pull his teeth out one at a time with pliers but now I'm full blown in love (http://www.cpfc.org/forums/images/smilies/love.gif)
-
...all the stupid remarks about same or faster speed comparisons aside it strikes me odd that the only valid reason for getting a GTD namely FUELCONSUMPTION is properly being adressed by REMAPPING.... :shocked: :laugh: :grin: :lipsrsealed:
And do not say it makes it run cheaper (same story as the GTI) because once experienced your left foot (in your country) is doing other things... :wink:

I....erm, well.....eh.... :grin:

There are other options to revo - my previous car was a audi a4 1.9 (130bhp standard), those nice people at awesome fitted a Tunit box and it flew! Fuel economy also slightly improved, but you end up with a f'ing fast yet totally discreet car. I had it 2yrs after that, and sold to to a good friend a year or so ago, and zero reliability issues.
Oh, and if you want to bung those pliers over Alan :wink:

Petrol would cost me £80 per week
Diesel costs me £0 per week

Impossible to go faster and use less fuel.......and if you are flying, you've got a vulcano in your tank...do not kid yourself....that is unless you go fast a few seconds a day.....than I will love to meet you on the road the other times of the day. :smiley:

I know those calculations wait until your boss finds out that your consumption suddenly increases due to a remap and your instantly increased fun-factor (heavy footing).... :wink:

I'm off out for a run now, not a car run a jog :smiley:

Interesting you call in fat and weight as.
Unladen Weight
GTD Manual = 1404kg
GTD DSG = 1426kg
GTI Manual = 1393kg
GTI DSG = 1414kg
Taken from VWs website.
So a manual GTD is lighter than a GTI DSG.
Between manuals the GTD is 11kg heavier
Between DSGs the GTD is 12kg heavier
You could have a good poop and nearly loose that, GTD owners need to start loosing weight to become FASTER. :wink:

A Golf GTI is a car that you are never ashamed to own. Bought with the heart and never regretted.
A diesel Golf GT is bought after tapping away at a calculator all night. And hated every time it's stuck chugging and rattling in a traffic jam.
Now as much as old Egbert clearly has some mental health issues, he is kind of right.
Dont get me wrong, Im not saying the GTD is a bad car, FAR FAR from it.
I also think its a cracking idea to remap it as it turns into a serious tool of a car. But I still see where Kev is coming from, if you want to remap it, should really have got a GTI . . . . ? I dunno :undecided:

Equally though if you wanted a 250bhp+ from your GTI why didn't you lot buy a faster car in the first place too :rolleyes:
Never ending circle really

But my point was, that the difference between GTD and GTI and the revo remap is basically the price. Ok, yeah to remap the car is good, but the price difference is almost the same, why not just start off with the GTI ?

Are crap. I've heard from several people how disappointed they where with them, not to mention seeing Rhyso power graph with a CC remap, spikes ALL over the place.

What about DMS?...they seem to be pretty big in remapping, no one seems to have mentioned them
-
God I I'm missing my gtd!! Useing a honda jazz at the moment on hire in Thailand not bad for jap rubbish ???
Remap would be good for or me thinks?? :laugh:
-
I mention DMS as they have done my Range rover TDV8 and it runs spot on..It was a new car, and was DMS'd pre delivery so didnt bother to build up any mile before getting it done. Makes a big differance on that motor bhp goes from 260 something upto 328 or something & torque shoots up massively, totally transforms the car
Was quoted approx £1k to get the golf done, quoted bhp upto 200 - 210 I believe, not sure on torque, but again would think a big gain would be seen. DMS seem to be pretty good with a faultless reputation, only thing that is stopping me is that Im not sure I am really to bothered about the extra performance as I only go 4 miles to work in the golf, and other than that its pretty short journeys as a second car, we shall see...anyone had theirs DMS'd or heard any reports?
-
Whats DMS warranty like ? Do they take over from the car manufacturer and see out the remainder of the warranty, or do they play the blame game like everyone else and you end up getting nowhere ?
-
Apparantly the DMS map is undetectable, and should your car go in for a service & they overwrite the map then they will come out & redo it again FOC
In the case of the Range rover, it does not affect the RR warranty at all as they dont know its there, and my feedback from other owners is that RR dealers are quite happy to cover the vehicle under warranty even knowing its been DMS'd
In fact oddly previous to this vehicle I had a RR sport that only had one previous owner and that was Farnells MD, turned out that had been mapped, I noticed it seemed very quick, so called the sales guy & he told me 'oh yeah the MD had it remapped with DMS'
So generally it would appear that its ok all round to have it done, wether you tell the insurance co or not is another matter...I wouldnt as its undectable anyway and I couldnt see it been a factor in a crash anyway
It makes such a big diff to the RR that it needs to be done on that car, as I said the problem I have is justifying such an expense on the golf, when I dont really think I would get the benefit from the extra performance....as you say Kev if I wanted a faster car I would of bought a differant one not a GTD. The GTD's performance is absolutley fine for what I use the car for
-

How can it be undetectable? I thought this wasn't possible as the firmware has a flash count?
The remappers I've asked about VW overwriting the map have said they would do it again for free.
-
It is detectable...
The only misconception here is the term is confused with "they are never looking for it".....but worse case scenario is still that you get a totall loss and they investigate your car...you might be F*cked...insurances/lease companies they all want to pay as little as possible if you get my drift :wink:
