I recently went from stage 1 to stage 2 remap.

After driving for about 300 odd miles since remapping, the Exhaust light on the dash came on today.

It didn't do this once whilst running stage 1.

Any ideas why?  :confused:

Speak to the Revo dealer that installed the software, they will be able to solve the problem.

Are you running an intake - have just actually been looking at the Revo website as GTI_Mad is in the same position. Think he is getting the rich on idle issue. He is not running an intake (yet  :evilgrin:) but the Revo site seems to suggest that is it required for Stage 2 on the ED30.

i think its more advised to be required rather than needed. You will see good gains from a good intake with the other supporting mods for stage 2.  :smiley:

Hmm, why hasn't someone mentioned to get a vcds scan in case the problem lies elsewhere...   :confused:

yes i must admit, its hard enough putting the power down on a ko3 stage 2+ so i bet it would be a right handfull on a ko4.  :driver:
