can a car lose its remap?
« on: June 01, 2011, 07:18:39 pm »
I had the revo stage one remap a month ago . Yesterday car felt funny, got to about 5000 revs then started stutterring. Happened again tonight and the performance feels back to normal, very slow. I am going to go for a blast in a while but the performance is def down now. It feels like it was when I first bought it. Will see if I get this stuttering at 5000 rpm again, feels like I am hitting rev limiter!!!

Any ideas?

thanks

If the battery is disconnected it can if its a revo map

It sounds more like a dodgy sensor

I would have a look at the DV if it's the diaphragm type.

Nothing has been disconnected.I never knew about meet but I work in London now so after 3 months of daytime tv I decided to get a job lol

In Essex week days and Bournemouth weekends

Shall I contact JKM and ask them, they may know as they fitted map?

Also this warranty I have, do I have to go all the way to poole for any work or can I got to a local VW garage in Essex in weekdays?

cheers

That poxy fan does my head in, it comes on even when the car is cold. I drive 10 miles to the station in morning and it never reaches the optimum temperature.

I have just been out and given it a good ragging, got it too optimum temp and the fan wasnt even on !!! It has a mind of its own!! Went past 6500 rpm with no probs. Maybe its something to do with the fan and the engine not reaching the proper temp!!
