(only issue is that the adaptations are lost I guess)

....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! :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
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! :happy2:

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! :smiley: :smiley:
