You can preserve your clutch quite a lot by not booting it at low revs in higher gears Gaz.

Stage II is less agressive than Stage I but it pulls longer and harder at the top end.

I do try not to pull to higher gear, the engine will produce the torque but you load the clutch. I learnt this lesson on my 8P S3.

But think about how much gets lost in the 4mo on the s3 it's massive so it should be ok running stage 2 but just use the gears more and be gentle in 6th

agreed, but not sure its as much as quoted sometimes, read a thread the other day stating it was 120bhp, I'm not havin that, it wouldn't be worth havin it, can't believe a std S3 puts 145bhp on the road, can you?

Cheers Stu, will give it a go for 50 quid I think

Hi everyone

Is there any way to get VW software updates without wiping off Revo?

REVO will replace the software free of charge however the dealer may make a small labour charge for the re installation.

If it's the same dealer then I'm sure they'll know, it'll also be logged at REVO HQ

Your revo dealer would have sent your vin and other details to revo hq at the time you got flashed.

I am sure that my local dealer (revo) when I asked them to remove my map, set it up so that I would eat fuel...

Long story but desperately needed the car unrevoed and within the 30 days guarantee wanted a refund...the dealer argued with me stating that I was not giving them a good reason to remove it....ultimately I stuck to my guns that I was not happy with the power uptake, it was too aggressive and they renaged and gave me a full refund.

Since then MPG is around 23MPG. Can I go to VW and explain and ask them to reflash the ECU? if so, anyone any idea how much it would cost?

how long ago did this happen, if only recently then give it time as mpg is always thrown a bit when changing between stock and remap modes. reset the mpg and give it a good run to see if it improves.

if this has gone on for a week or so, then take it to your garage and they will look at it for you, but i would not mention the revo just say mpg seems to have dropped signif and you are a little concerned.  :happy2:

Its been since last November mate.....I would consider getting Revo back on but NOT through that dealer, their attitude wasnt the best,....admittedly I had a big part in their stance...however I was expecting some cooperation and was intending on returning to get it back later the next month....

If they had played ball I would have had the Forge on, the REVO and some springs and potentially upgraded brake pads....

I am out of warranty now...nothing to lose by stating exactly what happened and asking to get it reflashed. 

I am at 34,000 was thinking of putting it in anyway for an early DSG service.....

did the dealer actually reflash your car with the stock code as it's quicker for him to just switch the revo map to "revo stock".
