Stage 1 revo faults

[Pauli]

Shame that you have had a bad experience, a different map isnt going to solve anything as clutch slip is an issue with torque output.

But it has to be a weak clutch, otherwise all other TSi Revo cars would have had the same problem. Did you contact Revo at all during the 30 days period? If not then I cant see what more they could have done for you unfortunately.

I reported the exhaust gas warning light, that was the only issue within 30 days. Would a 95 ron flash make the clutch stop slipping?

\so what we seem to be saying is Revo are happy to take your cash and not at all helpfull when u have issues, blaming the car seems to be std get out clause for them it seems.

In 99% of cases if Revo can help the will advise and bend over backwards to help and sort issues even if its not the SW fault.

Really? 
I can't say I've seen that too often.

They fixed my problem...but that might have been a one off. :-/

You compare this to your 2 APR'd Golfs...when I was doing my research into maps I looked at hundreds of rolling road graphs just to get a feeling for the average power/torque gains, and Revo always came out top for higher power/torque than APR.

To put things in even more perspective, on my stage 2 GTI the clutch would began to slip after the map had been on for around 5K-7K miles, which I accepted would be normal. When I was returning the car back to standard I took the APR RSC exhaust off first. After that, the clutch slip basically stopped altogether. Goes to show you how such little, insignificant things just push the clutch over the edge.

I'm not sure you really have a case, maybe your car has responded especially well to the map and is pushing more torque than other TSI engines? Or maybe it's your driving style and you frequently load the car up in a high gear? (i don't know how you drive obviously)....

I have had a few issues in the past and all I had to do is send the customer to the HQ and Kev looks into it straight away.   The thing they struggle with is trying to diagnose issues over the phone or via email.   

I have the same situations where people email phone me saying  " I have my car mapped 3 month a go now I have a missfire, flatspot dont feel as quick,  whats wrong is it the map"   All we can do is give a generic reply pointing out the common hardware issues which could cause faults,  If I have the car on my dyno I could just about pinpoint most faults with in 15mins.  If the car dont come to me it turns into a 10-15 replies to email trying to guide the customer to find the cause of tha fault.

For all the Revo customers Just phone Kev and head down to HQ where he can check, drive and log your cars and help you out.

If your clutch was slipping on revo, it'd probably slip on any map. Depends on how you look after it and whether you do things like accelerating hard in sixth gear rather than changing down.

Also remember that any map has the potential to wear components more quickly than expected and highlight faults with the car.

I have driven the MK6 like the MK5's, maybe I do use 5th/6th too much when overtaking, but thats what I thought more torque was all about. Maybe I should have been told it could wear my clutch if I dont gear down enough. Even to this day I didnt realise not red lining it was a bad thing. At least I know now. is an ED30 clutch the same as a MK6 GTi clutch?

I don't believe they are... heard that instead of uprating the clutch sometuners would put the ed30 clutch in.

rocco clutch started slipping at 30k, car was doing alot of motorway miles where i used the torque, pirelli now has 42k on the clock and on its original clutch, in reality i know people who have had clutch slip on tsi roccos running apr

[Pauli]

i may just trade it in for a 35th and find APR in UK

[E30Dom]

You will have the same prob with APR if it produces too much torque for the clutch... Revo wasn't at fault...

[PDT]

This should be interesting...


APR seem to be bending over backwards to regain market status! Cant refuse a free remap 

[rich83]

Sounds like desperation!!

Sounds like desperation!!

Or making things right, its things like this that help win customers back  although at £600 for a re-map I wont be going APR  (Nothing against them but the price)
