Remap removal question
« on: 17 October 2016, 08:38 »
Hi guys,

My R goes back tomorrow and I need to get my revo map removed. My local revo dealer has quoted £60 to remove it, but I'd prefer not to spend so much just to hand the car back. Is there another way? Could another tuner flash over the revo map?

Is there a Revo dealer near you?  I'm pretty sure they'd remove it FOC if so?

If it's going back to a VW dealer, they can do it, that's if you tell them about it.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Yeah this is my local dealer. They removed it free last time but they want £60 this time. Looks like I don't have an option really, I'll just get it done

Exactly. I traded my Golf in with it remapped.
I'm sure the next owner will have been delighted with it.

Sorry, I misread your original post and thought it was the VW dealer charging!

I think REVO leave it to the dealers discretion as to whether they charge.
£60 is a lot but you might have to bite the bullet.
The last car I had with REVO ended up being sold with the map still live but on its low power map as the REVO agent was going to charge me for removing it despite the fact I'd known him for years and years.
Funnily enough I've not been back since as he used to maintain my other car too.

It's like any mod though. You pay to play to use a hideously corny phrase with a slant on REVO's Go Play advertising.
As an example, if you get a suspension kit fitted you pay to get it removed before trading or lease hand back. The only difference with software is the guy removing it doesn't get his hands dirty and it takes minutes not hours...
