How detectable is Revo?

Picking my GTi up on Saturday with an approved used warranty!  :jumping:

However I want to REVO a.s.a.p
Basically after a bit of reading i can ascertain that (once switched to standard map) a thourough investigation (unlikely by dealer?) of the ECU would show a modified map sitting next to the standard one.
However have people with Revo remaps had succesful warranty work done by VW without being rumbled??

Obviously if you're engine goes bang then they probaly will investigate the ECU but for stuff like PCV vales etc. do they check the flash of your ECU?

Top Cat:
They dont automatically check for a map that i am aware of. The DV splitting is a common problem on the Mk5 so you should be fine. If this goes. If you get the SPS switch then you can revert back to a revo version of stock for the time its at the dealers.
You just have to accept that modifying your car does bring into play the dealer possibly not honoring warranty claims on the particular parts effected.  :happy2:

stealthwolf:
Some dealers are modfriendly and won't say jack about the remap. Others won't touch the even if it's an unrelated issue. Pot luck.

Lean:
get the switch with it and you will be fine  :happy2:

Lovegroover:
Yeah I thought that would be the case, just needed some reassurance that I’d probably get away with it!

 :driver:

Now to try and get in before the end of the year and get the free switch deal!
