Slightly off topic: I get much better performance and fuel consumption when using Total Excellium than BP Utimate. Both 97 RON.
Have you tried V power? :cool:

I have and noticed no improvement over 97 RON fuels. Also, there are no Shell Petrol Stations close to me which makes filling up at these very inconvenient. :smiley:
V-power is 98 ron , it was brilliant in the ED30 !! :wink:

I can honestly say i can never feel the difference. Too small a margin to notice i think! Maybe on a RR you would see the difference but to notice yourself is very hard! Even after fitting my exhaust and intake i cant feel the difference even though it will produce higher bhp. After a remap, well thats a different kettle of fish!  :laugh:

So what's the latest here chaps? Have Revo released an under-developed product onto the market or what?

Not sure why they would release the software if they knew about the issue? Or maybe they did not pick it up on the test car? Who knows, least they know about it and hopefully get it sorted ASAP!

Well mine went into VW today. Just got a call from CS that they have found no faults with the car, but carried out a software update as there was one required. The car was back to stock, and I was unable to recreate the problem on a test run with the engineer...  :undecided:


Conclusion... problem still unsolved and VW will not be doing anything else to rectify the problem as they cannot find a fault.  :angry:

Are you going to put your Revo map back on?

Tomorrow is wheel exchange day and I now know what you are putting on ... Audi RS4 wheels? :grin:

The map will be going back on at some point.. but i will be putting it back on the RR before I do. If it doesnt make 210bhp then I guess that gives me grounds to lodge a complaint with VW. I did tell them about the plugs but didnt want to say I have had them out. no doubt they didnt even check them!! :angry:

Get the car back tomorrow at some point so the wheels will not be going on this week.

.... and they are not RS4 alloys :tongue: :grin:

Not a clue and didnt even ask. Although with the software update done I am hoping it solves the problem  :undecided:

Damn you Gilly. :grin: Split rims? :rolleyes:

Hope all is resolved with the car. You're right to check on the RR first. Hope it will be fine.

Sometimes I wonder why we bother to excess with our cars. Are we lacking something essential in our lives? Don't think so. It's all good, clean but expensive fun. Fabulous! Bang goes the facelift and the rest! :cry:
