Well, I suppose it is partially good news Nadeem
I gather there was no joy with finding out why REVO stage 2+ gave you lean fuel issues?
Well from what I understand, it may or may not have been the Revo software... it could have been a fuel pressure sensor wrongly fitted to my car by VW at Wolfsburg
The main reason I am going to go for APR is because of the utter lack of interest shown by Revo in this case - I was given the cold shoulder as soon as I phoned Karl at Revo in early March when they didn't even have any proper information on the issue to make an informed decision about what the problem could be. Unfortunately, it didn't get any better... the attitude seems to be consistent with what R32 owners experienced in this thread -
http://www.r32oc.com/performance-technical/1550-revo-stage2-anyone-else-had-issues.html... the second post says it all really
At least their logic was consistent - 'its not the software, its the car' repeated like a well worn mantra... from the start even before they knew what was going on
To be honest, I was shocked, not just at the response, but also at the attitude which was blatantly disinterested - I spoke to Karl at the time - in stark contrast to the 'advice' offered when anyone asks him about spending money with Revo.
Anyway, while many cars run their software with no problems, God help anyone who experiences any issues, as Revo just don't want to know and thats why I have lost faith in them, whether or not the software was at fault.
I have to stress that at no point did JKM try and escape the issue at hand by pointing at other vendors like Revo and indeed, Keith was at pains to protect Revos reputation by always pointing towards other possible causes. However, I'm not a mug and can see that the questions I asked him about the Revo software were not being answered by Revo satisfactorily. All avenues were thoroughly and exhaustively explored as you all know. I finally cornered Kevin at Inters (Revo Sales and Marketing Manager I think) and while he said all the right things, I felt that I was subject to a damage limitation exercise as most of what was offered could have been done so from the start or at least when they were asked to co-operate. I dare not put Stage 2+ back on the car, as I am sure that Revo will revert back to the same mantra and deny all responsibility if anything goes awry. I just feel safer in APRs hands after reading about the support they gave Awesome GTI when John-O's GTI went in with similar issues and after reading about their history as a very thorough and established tuner.
