I have not collected it yet... im rolling in a new 2010 polo :grin: Actually quite nice, and relatively well spec'd.... but its only a 1.2 so I have had a few snails flashing their lights in my rear view looking slightly annoyed :embarassed:

I feel your pain. I'm in a 59 plate Polo 1.2 for just now. Dom is getting serviced. My word I truly miss the GTI.  :grin:

Yes I paid out my own money, Couldn't be bothered pressing vw, I want my warrenty for when my turbo explodes or something. Not have them looking about at something that only going to be a dodgy sensor.
 cost me £150 from Autorads in Sheffield. Ask for Steve Junior.  Turbo divertor valve, Im sure yours will be exactly the same thing. Its weak under high boost pressure. the map amplifies the problem.

Wasnt there a similar problem on the MK5 GTI?? you would have thought VW would have sorted it by now... or is it just a fail safe to stop any other components going bang  :rolleyes: :huh:

I think i am just going to put the map back on, test, and if its still the same then get the plugs changed. If the problem still persists, then its back to std and back to VW (with RR graphs) :angry:

Is that all yours was? The dump valve?

I think we need to face facts. When the car goes back to VW, all they do is plug it into a computer. If it throws out errors, they look up the error code and then follow step-by-step instructions. So simple a 10yr old could do it!!

Gone are the days when a traditional mechanic could start your car and know whats wrong with it by listening or at most taking it for a drive.


NO ERRORS = NO PROBLEMS its a simple get out by VW  :angry:

OK got the car back from dealer with some good and bad news!

Good news is the car is still in one piece :grin:. Bad news is they could not find any faults. So they gave me some free oil, a software update and sent me on my way :angry:

So half a mile down the road I pull over to put the Revo back on.... errmmmm. How can I put this???? It doesnt accept the flash anymore. :cry:

You will need to get back to your Revo dealer for the car to be reflashed.

Remember the Select Plus doesn't flash the ECU like the bluefin, it just works with the Revo code in the ECU to update/change the settings.
