The problem just disappeared. Cant get it to do it anymore.

Awesome looked at the car and cleaned the pcv valve as they thought that might be causing my uneven idle.


Has anyone seen the latest version of the pcv valve? £100 and replaces the bit at the front and the rear bit going to the turbo?

if you disconnect your battery will you loose the settings for the map and revert back to basic settings like revo does

i bought my car with revo stage 2 and had battery disconected,so does that mean my car isnt running the stage 2 map anymore then??

If its been disconnected for a couple of hours or more then it will have reverted to stock settings.

However the map is still there you just need someone with a Revo SPS switch to put the settings back on.

I'll be back last week June (after 24th) so give me a shout then and I'll put the settings back.

Not sure if my switch will work as its for a 2.0TSi but it should do. If not ill try it plugged in to the laptop and go through the Revo SPS software. Do you know what the settings where before? Boost 7, Timing 6, Fuel 8 for example. If not we may need to do a bit of data logging to get safe settings.
