Tis the reason I will be using a reputable company like revo

But even Revo leave a 'footprint', which is detectable by the stealer and VW Germany. 

Dont think the dealer i will be taking it to is the same as the dealer I got it from 

Doesn't matter.  ANY dealer - VW, Audi, Seat, Skoda - will all use the same VAS machine, and they will see the flash counter.  And all dealers VAS machines are connected directly to the main database in Wolfsburg.

Just be careful, mate, that's all. 

Also i know what happens to the cars when they go back now

Huh, explain?

I also couldn't get my head around the power. It's a 3.2 litre V6 but only produced 247bhp standard. What I found frustrating was that tuning it was expensive and didn't yield the sorts of gains you would get from remapping a GTI.

And that is the fundamental problem of the 'VR' engine design.

They are difficult to cool efficiently - especially when pushing up power outputs.  And they also suffer from a fundamental design 'flaw' - in that the inlet ports and exhaust ports cross along side each other.  This is similar to a 'pre-crossflow' cylinder head design, whereby both inlet and exhaust ports are on the same side of the head.  On the VR design (and pre-crossflow), this causes unresolveable issues regarding the hot exhaust gasses heating up the inlet gasses - and vice versa.  Hotter inlet air temps reduce the volumetric effieciency, and therefore the combustion efficiency.  And the 'cooled' exhaust gasses reduce the effectiveness of the catalytic converter.  This is why VR engines not only produce less power than a conventional 'wide angle' vee engine, but also suffer with worse emissions too. 

F00k me, that's some in depth knowledge 

Interesting 

That is what I am basically about - years and years of professional studying! 

reads suspiciously like the wikipedia article if you ask me, unless your wink is acknowledging that fact

Cheeky fcuker!  I got my qualis long before arsepedia was even invented - and I said PROFESSIONAL - which usually means formally examined! 

But I did write the Wiki article on DSG.

T_T actually writes a few of the wiki articles 

How do you know that?

More of an ass-umption  I knew you wote the dsg article so thought you may have written a few more

Also i know what happens to the cars when they go back now

Huh, explain?

At the end of the lease an independent bca vehicle inspector comes to check over the car. Then (when they can be bothered ) they come and collect the car. It then goes round the block

end of my lease with audi for a god awful A6 was a mare,.....(worst automotive mistake EVER that car).

1 tiny scuff on an alloy, a scuff under the front splitter (where you would NEVER see it) they then tried to stuff me for about a grand!

I told them to stick it since I knew a the work was not done on the car (it went to a local auction the very next day).

We eventually reached an agreement when a credit collection agency hassled me for months, i paid £150 which actually had I the inclination would have reported them to the vat man for since they were claiming vat on work that wasnt done! total screw over...still, it didnt really put me off leasing just sh!te audi's (not the good ones).

You do have to be careful as alot of them try to stitch you... but as this is the second car I have had from VW the inspector was ok. He did note the thickness of the paint where I had the repair done (but was VW repaired) so that was ok. Also had 2 of the wheels re-done and a dent taken out. Apart from that the car was mint anyway

Do you know if they plug anything into the OBD port?

But I did write the Wiki article on DSG. 

But there are nowhere near enough quotations on that page for it to be your work
