Aum with 120k on it. Gone to low boost not stock but not stage 1 either. Tgere no kick any more and sometimes get dv flutter. Any ideas where to look?
-
Dv is shot. Get yourself a forge 007p or 008. But before all that get it logged for faults.
-
He already has a 007p if you read his sig. Maybe needs a rebuild with new piston design. Worth a shot.
-
Got 007p and revised piston service kit..... found my dv boost feed pipe from fpr was cracked. But car still low on power :-(

Sorry dont read sigs lol
-
My boost gauge funked too so cant even tell u wat it boosting to either lol
-
Vac pipes all connected with any leaks?
-
Right pissing me off. Car hsd a proper boost check with fancy gaget that forces air through system no leaks. Vcds etc no error codes. Dv dumps normal im getting good mpg etc. Sounds silly can a car loose its map?
-
Depends on who mapped it.
my mate had a revo (i think) map put on his old car, he unplugged the battery and when he connected it up it had lost all power, he rang up the company who maped it and they said cause hes unplugged his battery he has lost some 'settings' etc and that its just reverted to a basic revo (ro what ever company it was) map. they then re-did the settings as a "good will" gesture, but told him if he lost the 'settings' again he will have to pay for them to be put on.
never heard anyone else having this problem, but it certainly wasnt running as fast as it previously was...

I've heard of this too, wasn't sure if it was an urban myth
-
Well I will certainly ask r-tech abot this when I go in for map, I wont be paying £300+ for a map if "disconnecting the batt" messes up the software.

well my battery is taken out the car when parked up and it has never lost the map r-tech put on it :wink:
-
This urban myth only seems to apply to maps were you can change the settings like boost and fuel through something like a REVO SPS switch
99% of the time you will be fine. I've never had a customer ring me up saying their map has been lost as a result of disconnecting the battery
-
The thing is battery not been off or anything. It literally happened overnight. Drove home fine. In morning gutless
-
would a fuel pump dying through up any other symtoms etc?
-
??
-
My car lost a lot of power when my fuel pump was weak and a little miss fire on tick over as well
-
In last 2 weeks car has started and stall straight away. Any test for fuel pump??
-
Well who of guessed it. Replace n75 last year to latest revision..... guess wat no error code but took it off and can blow through all 3 pipes. So back to my original 13year 120k valve boom gTi is back. So will get it swapped under warranty at vw.

Don't say this , my agu ko3s has a revo map and as been gutless since I parked it up and battery went flat , I thought the dv needed a service

My mate has revo map on his aum. Its a swicthable between stock and the remap. Had the battery disconnected may times and no problems when hooking it back up.
