Revo or not to Revo

[mcmaddy]

Were the 14 warranty claims on your gti all engine and drive train related? If yes them I'd be staying well clear of revo as you're not the first to have such issues.

This.  And it sounds likes you have sufficient doubt in your own mind to steer clear of the Revo.

Flywheel, clutch, gearbox and inlet manifold were all drivetrain after the map, but I'm 90% sure the clutch was slipping before the map. What about a tuning box from DTUK?

Less likely to be detected/harder to prove fitment than a remap, I was a big fan of the DTUK GTD box (and now my Dad is) - couldn't form an opinion on the petrol GTI/R set-up.

I vote yes FULL Fecking POWER!

Its FREE!

and did you not get warranty work done regardless of your map??

I'd recommend a DTUK tuning box - whilst the outright gains might not be the same as a remap, the strain on the components is also reduced accordingly.  Got one on the GTI and love it!

Yep all warranty work was done after the remap. In fact the flywheel and clutch went in without the map being removed. Difficult to drive to revo dealer with a slipping clutch and all.

How exactly is this so given the claim similar figures?

[Rhyso]

Can you get a refund and try a different remap?? 

I'd run the car in for at least 3 months just in case there are any issues that develop. Then unleash its potential!!

On a positive note you have categorically smashed all the myths and rumours surrounding the TD1 warranty flag

I had a mk7 GTD (got f*cked off with the tramping and it being too slow) so opted for a DTUK box which was a great tweak. I now have an R (2500 miles in now) with a DTUK box, fitted it just after I passed 1000 miles. The difference is brilliant, in 3rd and up. Next to no difference that I can see in 1st and 2nd. Id love to have it mapped but worried for warranty issues. But a stage 1 is well within the cars parameters and providing your not honing it every 2 seconds I cant imagine many issues. Id try DTUK box first, as you can always sell it on if your not happy or send it back to DTUK within the 1st week for your money back. At least if I do opt for a map down the line I will recoup some of the £360 I spent on the box. Takes like 40mins to fit, pretty easy. Could have done it quicker but wanted to take my time. Worth a shot!!!
