hi all,
I had my mk6 gti flashed @ inters. All was good until I was nearly home back in lancs when the yellow exhaust light came on, drove cautiously, then after refueling with more vpower the light went out. This fault keeps coming and going for the last 6 months since the flash but I only use vpower. The second fault occured 3 months after inters, when accelerating up a slip road I shifted from 3rd to 4th put the accelerator down and no power, just deceleration, I look at my on board computer at it read engine fault workshop and into limp mode the GTi went. After pluggin the car into a diagnostic machine the tech told me there was a missfire on a cylinder and carbon build up around the throttle body. They wanted to update my ECU but I decllined as it may wipe the flash. I told VW I would see if the fault clears as it was ok once I had arrived @ the dealership. The third fault has just started, which I can only describe as a slipping clutch sensation, but happens intermitently in different gears under heavy load. The 4th fault is an irratic idling, but again intermitent. I have been to Awesome and had the GTi flashed back to stock purely because I have an undriveable £26k car. Both Revo and Awesome tell me thay have had no issues with any other flashed TSi's, and that I have a flywheel issue which is VW's fault and my spark plugs are not great which is VW's fault. I asked Revo uk for a refund or partial refund, or even a voucher for a future ECU flash, to which I got knocked back on all three. But they will give me a 20% discount on a future flash... thanx lol.
All in all I am totaly dissatisified with revo as I have spent £410 on a stg 1, on a car which becomes undriveable. Oh and £33 @ Awesome to go back to stock. My last 2 GTi's one of which was an ED30 were APR tuned and were superb.
Any idea what my next steps should be?
