Revo free trial

[akz786]

Anyone had a free trial on a 99 plate 1.8T? (non drive-by-wire)? apparently the free trial is only for 2000+ DBW models? Ive been told this by a "revo consultant" I think its not true...can anyone confirm?

[monkeyalan]

yeah , I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere recently.

Has anyone had any problems when the trial runs out? Mine is the 180bhp, and I think it might have gone back to 150bhp?
Or did revo really make that much difference?

non-dbw cars dont have the ecu capabilities for the 5 hour trial. a few people have mentioned that their car feels sluggish after the trial runs out .. it may all be in your mind but take it back to your revo dealer just incase.. they can flash the ecu back to stock no problem at all.

Had the ecu flashed back to the original, makes a difference! dont know if its a trick by revo to think your car is worse, or the revo put it back to a 150bhp, but seems better anyway

What normally happens is when you give your revo trialed car some stick, the ecu pulls back on certain parameters and remembers that, so for this example would be running 95%, when it reverts back to stock its still running @95% original power then. It doesnt work exactly like that but v similar. Throttle body adaption can also sometimes be required.

So what do you have to do to get it fully back to normal? will having the ecu flashed and re-loaded not have reset those parameters?
Revo should have stated that if you have a revo trial, you'll lose 9bhp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Realign the throttle body via VAG-COM is the normal routine.
