....That's what I used to do and so I then knew that the remap had got wiped and that it needed reloading via my Revo agent JKM.

Before getting a remap I actually asked my VW dealer for their opinion and whether it would affect our good relationship. They asked me which remap and when I said Revo they said no problem at all Robin.

with nick at r-tech, you could ask him to put a standard map on a cd or pen drive.   Then buy a tool from ebay and flash it with laptop?
One of the reasons i chose a shark remap over rtech was due to the sts device. What software would one actually need to reload an rtech map onto car from a laptop?

Your right mate,

I told them from the start and they have(so far) been very good,and a lot of the time unless you tell them that the car is mapped they wouldnt even know....

I dont regret for an instant having the map done,it's a crime that they are not like it from standard, IMHO.

Is your map a "custom" one or a generic one?

I've never understood why so many people go with Revo when more suited custom maps are available for less money?

4 Words answer that.

1. Sheep
2/3. Power claims
4. Adjustability

They want the flatspot?  :jumping:
