Hi all,
I have my car booked in for it's first service at a VW main dealer next week. I'm concerned that they may try to do a VW software update and wipe my remap in the process. Does anyone know if there are new updates the dealer might try to upload?
-
yep mine serviced and they did an update and it left the car in stock mode with the map not been able for me to turn it back on and i have the select plus aswell :rolleyes: so i had to have a revo dealer turn it back on :rolleyes:
-
ohh bugga, mine is in with the stealers right at this moment in time!
I did advise them that it had been re-mapped and the service person wrote it on the front of the job card. I hope they don’t do an update I wont be able to get the Revo dealer that remapped it for a while as they are miles away...
-
I always specifically tell the dealer that I don't want any software downloads as then I have a comeback against them if they do a download. This has applied to my last 5 cars :shocked:
-
Hmm, don't know what to do. If there is a VW update I feel the car should get it because, correct me if I'm wrong, it doesn't just update the engine ECU, it also updates the cars 'operating system', i.e all the controllers for the windows, locks, and all the other modules which you see on VAG-COM.
It will be a pain in the ass if they wipe the remap though as it'll mean setting a day aside and making an appointment to go and get it re-Revo'd.
-
they dont wipe the code its more like its there saying hello i am here and just needs the file pushing back in line :smiley:
-
If it's an ECU update it will overwrite the REVO flash.
Some dealers don't charge for the reflash, others charge a nominal labour fee. There is no charge from REVO.
-
As Stu says, I wouldn't worry about it to much, as your Revo dealer should reload the map straight back on if that happens..
-
....
So does anyone know what the latest VW update is?
The last one I had was 24K6.

Revo always use the latest map when remapping your car - so when mine went in even though it had a version of the latest map on there they still updates as the puter said so.
Interested to hear if there has been another recently though...
-
Thanks for the info lads. I think I'll let it go in and let them do an update if they want to, and if the map gets wiped then I'll just get it put back on again. I've been on to Revo and they'll put it back on no problem. Will report back and let you guys know if there is a new update from VW.
-
yes all our software is upto date with VAG updates! if you do get an update just go and see your REVO dealer and they'll re-flash the car for you :)
-
My car is just back from it's service at the VW stealer and the Revo map is still there. They said they checked for recalls but there were none. Happy days. :cool: They also put the car on the T&D servicing schedule, having first fobbed me off saying it wasn't possible. :rolleyes: I was going to do it myself with the instructions on the sticky in the maintenance section anyway if they wouldn't do it.
Also, even to get the car booked in for a service took a bit of a fight. They were arguing with me that it didn't need a service if the light on the dash hadn't come on! I had to insist that I'd prefer to have an oil change service as the car had done 10,000 miles. Eventually the girl on the phone let me book it in, but only after checking with the service manager if it was OK.
Jeez...what is it with VW stealers!
-
There is newer update since 24k6, cant remember what the number is and dont have my service book to hand at the moment. Did a search and i think it's 24m5 that is the most recent one.
-
^^^^
Cooper7 - We'd all be grateful if you would confirm that info and the exact update code, please.
:afro:
-
Was it not 246k ?
Had this software upgrade done when I got my first service in September 2007.
