Lost revo?
« on: March 17, 2012, 04:31:05 pm »
My revo stage 1 golf is awful at the mo. It feel very under powered to how it was. A mate of mine has jus said that if you get a flat battery the remap deletes. Is this correct?

you need someone with an sps device to reload your settings, or a revo dealer. the revo is still on the car, just the settings change

 Have you checked your diverter valve or pcv? if not id highly recommend doing so. my diverter valve was torn to shreds and fell apart when i took it out, felt soooo sluggish and snail paced and when i changed the vavle hey presto couldnt tell you how many times it was improved, car pulls like a train now!

If battery is disconnected revo goes into stock mode. Either get a sps unit or go back to any revo dealer they will be able to re aply the settings.

Does it definitely go to stock mode when disconnecting the battery? As ive disconnected it when fitting a trickle charger and my revo still seems like the full fat mode?  :scared:

Only Revo and APR map, I think  its due to the map switch options area in the code which is stored in the eeprom addaption memory which is non vilotile and can be reset by removing battery.

Your R-Tech engine & DSG maps will be fine if you lose battery power.

If your local I can switch your Revo map setting back on £FOC if needed.
