Problem with Revo remap. ( Random power loss )

[mac7]

It just seemed from the OP's post that he's been fobbed off. I agree good service is hard to find and from what I've seen REVO certainly have a good reputation and a good product but it's how a company reacts when there are problems that counts. As a potential future customer, I am watching with interest.

Indeed, especially from REVO themselves    Although the dealer did post and appears knowledgeable 

Always appears to be the case when you have an intermittment problem - you can never re-create it when you take it back to the dealer

to neil: were there any fault codes recorded? max boost pressure exceeded maybe?

to the o.p: how bad is the power drop and how long does it last? does it seem to lose boost but run otherwise miss-fire free? if it's a wastegate issue it can be very hard to replicate even with a rolling road unless it is a load based dyno but it should be a simpler(cheaper?) fix than a fuelling problem. If you get stuck drop me a pm i can have a quick look for you - maybe give you some ideas and arm you with some knowledge

i don't know the politics between revo and their dealers for issues like this, but i know that a vw dealership will right away blame the remap without even properly looking. If it were my car i'd want the original vw map file put back on the car before considering approaching vw with it or they will fob you off.

Appreciate the dealer perhaps looked at the car at short notice, but given the fault occurs at 70-90mph then its a bit pointless doing a run round the block at 40mph.  The ecu may have logged something but might have been better to have gone when you could have had the second option of putting it on the RR.

Problem with REVO is you can never put it back to VW mapping, only REVOs version - not sure what this is, the first original Mk6 GTI map they uploaded, which could now be several versions old if VW are constantly tweaking ??  The fact that REVO sort of acknowledge they've seen it elsewhere would make me suspicious, unless they could say x component isn't up to the job.  The revised map should work on a  standard car and not rely on having to further update other components to make it compatible.

Bluefin would have allowed THE standard map to be put back, albeit with the flash count change , so you'd have a chance of a warranty claim if any VW component wasn't 100%. However under the normal map the fault may never ever appear.
