Haha Revo remap.  

Simply "changing to revo" is not a cure. If anything it's like being given one disease to get rid of another.
If there was something with the map then it would have been a setting causing that and until that can be worked out you can't simply blame the remap without working through the data.

As long as you are happy mate...

[xjay1337]

It was more of my dislike of Revo maps than saying it didn't "fix" the problem.
I have seen the maps they do and the fuelling requests they make (on Mk4 cars but near enough the same thing, it's PD engine after all) and they are very aggressive giving huge torque kicks. They spike early leaving the power trailling off the higher RPMs.

It would be interesting when Sedox can update as to the problem of that remap, or to try the exact map on another car. I wonder if in 3 months the noise will start again 

[GTI-Ross]

Im not gonna side one way or another, but Jay you have to respect that Marshall ( the paying customer ) feel much happier wit the map and feels the issue is sorted. So im happy for Marshall either way.

Now let time just do its thing, 3 months down the line if every thing is good then, Hey! all sorted

[xjay1337]

Oh yes I'm happy it is working for him too.
I'm just intrigued how a map can cause the engine to run noticeably louder and await Sedox's update if any.

I'd be keen to know what figures you got with Revo and how differently it drives compared with the PDT map

[R-tech-Nick]

Back to the OPs first post.

My worry with "risk" on the mk6 is the map write methods with my tools. I have just invested £5000 into new tricore kit to start flashing the new med17 ecus, but won't be offering retail maps until I am 100% happy with my tool and my mapping software methods, only stuff we will be doing is R&D maps until the 1.8t market dies off, then I will have time to think more about mapping the mk6 stuff.  But while I am busy with 1.8t 2.0tfsi and DSG DQ250/500 customers its pointless trying to take more work on just to try and make more money.

Jesus Marshal you sound like a nightmare customer!

You had the PDT map for 3 months and were over the moon, you have the Revo map a few weeks and are again over the moon, so im not seeing the difference? Maybe your issues will re-appear in another 3 months and the Revo software will be at fault?

You also disconnected your battery which fixed it, even though disconnecting your battery makes no difference to the PDT software?

PDT have been a lot more helpful than i would be, or would expect other companies to be! Id have an invoice sitting for you.

You just cannot keep some people happy! 

[Saintsteve]

Or it could be you only know some of the story???????

Surprised to see you still on this forum Marshall after what nice things you said about "us mark 5 owners" on GolfGti.co.uk 

Let's hope for your sake that your correct , and if you are so correct that you would go to the extent you have to try ruining a company's name ,even though a independent engineer backs the company and not your Story with his report..

An unknowledgable person spouting nonsense.

You don't see that on the internet very often!

I was going to let this go quiet to wait the Sedox outcome.
But with all the comments above I can't resist.
Firstly for supposedly slagging members off on here on another forum I think you'll find my comment were that Sedox fan boys who know nothing about the events are very quick to judge. (Take that how you like)

Secondly for the next comment regarding unknowledgeable people spouting off.
Where do I start?
I've been a technician for a major car manufacture for 20 years fully qualified and even won top technician in the country twice and coming second 3 times in the last 8 years.
It seems I'm more qualified than the garage in question when it comes to mechanics.
Maybe I don't put my findings in to words correctly but I know what's right and what's not.
Previously I'd posted that everyone's now an expert! Well that certainly looks to be the case doesn't it?

I can understand why you are so quick to blame me when you have not had first hand experience with either my car or a remap on your cr170 from Sedox.
I think that makes the unknowledgeable comment even better.

As for making it my work to spoil this garages reputation, well the proof is in the pudding and I've only posted my own customer experiences.
For which none of you have a cr170 remap customer experience.

So any of you that are trying to blow hot air up anyone's are$ JOG ON

Quality 

I think people would feel different if it was their own car, we all know what it like when you think something isnt right and you hear noises. Remap or not causing the problem, I think the outcome is still the one people wanted for Marshall, everyone wants it running smooth as.

[Gaz]

Its the simple facts that make it look like your talking wind and pish mate.

-You were over the moon with the re-map for 3 MONTHS !!

-You get a problem/ noise and look for someone to blame, maybe hoping for a free fix!? Tuning company are the last people to touch your car and likely to try keep you sweet and check it FOC to try stop this outcome.

-They have went far and beyond to help you, and not charged a penny. unlike a lot of companies would (rightfully).

-You disconnected your battery which cured it- which makes no difference to the software you are blaming!??

-You get a different companies remap which fixes it (like disconnecting battery did) and all of a sudden thats hard evidence!?? Your first remap was perfect for 3 months, aswell as your car bein fine after battery disconnected, so theres no proof there mate!

Your dragging a companies name through the dirt, for no real reason as far as the majority of us can see.

Get some hard FACTS proving the ACTUAL problem before running round the playground calling people names.

I have been reading this thread with keen  interest first of all i,m no expert. But I know this when I remap my car i will be going to straight to sedox  and none other as it seems their after sales service is impeccable . Wether the problem was their map or not this thread has only enhanced their reputation in my my eyes

[Gaz]

The facts are in the pipeline.

As for being perfect for 3 months.
Put it like this.
You go out and buy a car and test drive it.
How often once you've had the car weeks/months do you tune in to a noise or something you didn't notice when buying?
Your so pleased with your new car or extra performance you don't notice the obvious.

Subject closed

Hmm, isn't it the other way round?

Once i get a new car or new bit for it, i pay a LOT more attention to it until ive learned it can be trusted. I think thats normal!? 

Facts in the Pipeline? Surely you have them already since youre so sure whats at fault?

I have been reading this thread with keen  interest first of all i,m no expert.

Correct, i completely agree. 

If i was Revo and seen this thread before you arrived wanting their remap, id have told you to bolt! Your not worth the hassle.

Youve probably got a dodgy MAF sensor.

But you have no idea about remaps or what goes into them let alone what adjustments you have.

Plus making Lego Cars doesn't count.  want a lollypop?

EXACTLY as Gaz said - we're not idiots on here you can't just slag off companies without any decent proof.
