Revo Remap

Revo have just announced a stage 1 re-map for the Golf R. This should work for an S3 right as they are the same engines right?

 

[ConS3]

Nope. Different ECU.

 

[Nawaid]

It's giving the golf some serious extra whack

Damn, that's some speed.

God damn warranty though lol

Different ECU.

 

[The Challinor]

Different ECU.

For now, will get cracked at some point.

The DTUK box offers similar figures as well.

 

[veeeight]

It will still be a different ECU after its cracked

I was aware it's a different ecu beforehand and its 2 posts above lol

So why did you say, "For now" ?!?!

Doofus.

Doofus.

I'm tired and was on about the map not the chip. I realise the chip will never change to a Golf one haha

Meh. Until Scott stops getting misfires and EPC warning lights from his DTUK box, I'll leave it

That's epic! Bike beater in the dry

Scott's the only 1 having issues, and I spoke to him a couple of weeks ago and mentioned a couple of potential issues and I'm awaiting feedback.

Check out the R Forum as we've sold over 20 kits on there this last 2 weeks without any issues other than the usual mis fitting.

 

[nervus]

Get an MTM, or ABT box - Veeeight! Pricey but no issues ever and backed up with warranty!

 

[veeeight]

 

[david7m]

How many miles would you need to do before considering the chip? 1k, new oil and then go for it?
Dave

 

[nervus]

Doesnt matter about mileage, I always wait till the oil temp is up and always run the turbo down and try and cool the brakes. Oil change at least every 5k too but thats probably OTT

Revo has a map for this now, should be interesting to compare the results of Revo, MTM and DTUK

I'll consider this when my 3 year warranty is up

 

[Martinbanshee]

Presumably TD1 will be an issue with the Revo software?

 

[Leo-RS]

£720 for a remap is pretty steep. I hate how they price things up and then have a statement saying excluding VAT. I was expecting it to come I'm around the £575-£625 ballmark

 

[Liquidfusion-S3]

It's considerably cheaper than MTM's price that's for sure!

 

[Nawaid]

Would rather go for the DTUK box plus pedal box. Much cheaper, tried and tested and according to them, no TD1's

Yes software available for S3 Sedan, not for Hatch as Hatch uses SIMOS12 ECU.

Please contact your local Revo dealer for details - http://www.revotechnik.com/dealer-locator

The burning question is will this flag a TD1? If it does I'll give this a miss.

The burning question is will this flag a TD1? If it does I'll give this a miss.

TD1 has been around for several years, but suddenly more people have started to talk about it.
One of the reasons many of us own VAG vehicles and the reason Revo have worked with them for 12 years+, is partly down to their strong reliability, meaning that a warranty claim is rare.
However should the occasion to make a Warranty visit arise, then some do opt to have the car flashed back to stock prior to a Main dealer visit. Following the visit to the dealership, Revo do not re-charge for the software. Please speak to your local dealer for more details - http://www.revotechnik.com/dealer-locator

 

[Martinbanshee]

Thanks Steve, I've no problem with flashing back to stock but although I've had Audis for a while I only just recently became aware of the TD1 flag.
It wouldn't bother me if I knew for sure that Audi ignored it.

I thought a TD1 stayed even after reflashing back to stock, is this correct?

 

[veeeight]

As long as it's re-flashed back to the very same identical file that your car (or production batch) had, the checksum will be the same, so no TD1 flag will be raised.

If it's inadvertently flashed back to a file which your car did not leave the factory with, it will not match what Audi AG have, then a TD1 flag will be raised.

I'm sure everyone would love to hear the official response from Revo too

How weird is it that the S3 sedan uses a different ECU to the hatchback!

 

[ConS3]

So, what's the ECU on the SB then? Odd that the sedan came out after the SB, yet the sedan has been cracked first.

 

[gtiller]

The sedan (saloon) I believe has the same ECU as the VW Golf.

Golfs are more common and mainstream and the demographic of owners is slightly younger than Audis, and a lot of tuners think the VW owners are more open to tuning and aftermarket mods, which is why most cater for the VW owners first.

Also, the Golf is cheaper to buy, with shorter lead times, so tuners got them to develop on first.


Revo had a play with my SB back at the end of July, and are very nearly there with a map
:-D
