lol, he thinks we say stuff like this just to wind him up

  Funny stuff 

I'd tell them it was mapped if I were you Chris. Worst comes to worse you can always go to another dealer should you have a re-map related fault, and lets be honest the chances of that are slim

or is the other way round shaun

Erm nope, I have a remap :-)

....

I switch my Revo to Stock everytime my car is fully serviced by VW dealer (every 10k miles). I discussed my mapping intentions before I actually remapped and they are cool about it. It's no problem anyway now because I introduced a friend at my dealer's to Revo and now he is an appointed Revo agent at my dealer. So, any mapping problems can be sorted there and then and anything more involved will be looked after either by JKM using the dyno or Revo themselves.

The car does feel very 'flat' in Stock map but only by direct comparison. It's most noticeable for overtaking - The choices are reduced.

I wouldn't dream of fiddling around with any settings myself - I'd rather leave it to the expert specialists.

Who do you use for servicing Robin?
Mine is due a service and I'd rather use someone I can trust (and can maintain the "fVWsh" approach).

....VW Loders of Dorchester 01305 267 881 - Ask for Dan and mention my name (Robin with red Mk5 GTI) and he'll look after you. I don't know if Dorchester is convenient enough for you though.

No i ment by me replying the way i did........................never mind

Reckon now and again its a good idea to switch the car back to stock once the remap has started to feel 'slow' that way its like christmas all over again 
(only issue is that the adaptations are lost I guess)

With pipes like those you are now flaunting, Phil, how long do you think Phyllis will remain 'unmolested'?

....It only takes about 100 miles to 'relearn' your driving style and it's probably a good thing to give the ECU a refresher course after mods, and your driving style may change/develop too.

Got the car all back safe and sound! No software update done - apparently they always call their customers before an update is done, incase the ECU has been modified! Thought that was a nice touch by them.

I make it very clear that they should not wash the car. It was even printed on the job card. So what do they do................? Correct...they wash the car! 

Anyway...loaded back the Revo through the Select Switch, and I'm not joking...its much faster than it was! I got a full 10mph faster up a road near my house than I can normally acheive. (yes yes I know this is very unscientific, however I drive this road every day, and each day I get within 1-2mph every time) But today, a full 10mph faster! Braking at the same point too (there is a nicely positioned sign that I use as my marker).

I assume that as the dealership is only about 9 miles from my house, that the ECU is still going through its adaptation period (as discussed in the above posts), so therefore it may still be a little 'confused' at the moment lol! Or, Revo loaded a higher boost setting than I asked!!!!

Either way...a trouble/damage free service, by a decent dealer, so it was a good day!

Dealer: Windrush, Maidenhead!

P.S. They have put Mobil 1 oil in it. (5W30, and has the little 'VW 501/507' markings on the back. I asked them to continue putting in the longlife oil - as per instructions from T_T.

But, is that Mobil 1 stuff any good? I normally use Castrol Edge..

Thankies!
