im obviously not going to go mad with the settings and turn everything up to max, im not stupid, but like i said, taking advise from people seems fine, its advise and not fact. i do it with my computer overclocking, which alltough not as costly if things go wrong, will still cost me a couple of hundred+ to fix, so causion is always advised.

knock on affects come with modding anyway, revoing the car will lead to other stresses and even warrenty issues... suspention leads to stresses on other parts... etc etc...
i also dont have the time to drive 120miles round trip to my tuner every time. Sure i can ask for datalogs IF they bothered keeping it...

In an ideal world buying Vag Com would be the best route, but spending afew hundred on that for a few change settings when i can take advise and causion seems ott. my view obviouslly, again just advise...

Well so long as you have deep enough pockets to cover your words of wisdom that is fine.  Most don't and they like to know what their car is doing.


....Oh I like to know what my car is doing, or should I say how my car is doing. That's why I go to JKM's Dyno-Days, together with social reasons. But I don't feel the need to constantly monitor everything as a hobby.

Most with Mk5's do have deep enough pockets but some don't like to spend. Often a spend brings far more than just the value of the goods/service. Being mean is often a false economy. [More words of wisdom for you :evilgrin:]


When people don't have VCDS and run a modded car is when you get random posts like my CEL came on what is it??


....Sure, but such random questions get posted anyway and what's wrong with that?

If I get a CEL light come on, my first phone calls will be JKM (my tuner) and my VW dealer and not a forum - In other words, people who are both professional specialists and know my individual car.

But ETTO etc. 8)

Sure but that's not a lot different to posting the same rather fruitless question here Robin, without the correct data any diagnosis is purely a guess.  Which then means you jump in the car and take a trip to the tuner of your choice.  However if you were able to phone them and say for instance I've got -

They'd most likely be able to tell you exactly what the problem was and save you the journey.

Equally there would likely be somone around here who could help you but as you so often like to say ETTO  :evilgrin:

@ Stu:

Yes, a phone call might only give an informed guesstimate and invariably be followed by a journey and one I'd be happy to do - I love driving. I'd rather drive a 200 mile round trip than deal with a whole load of gobblygook as your list example. This week I drove 610 miles, the previous week only 40 - I much prefer this week.

Telling me what the problem is isn't that likely to solve it without a visit anyway.

Sorry, but personally I wouldn't trust the judgement on such subjects around here or indeed any other internet forum, unless posted by a known professional.

I write "ETTO" merely to communicate that whatever my opinion might be and however strongly I might feel it, I respect that others may feel differently. Not everyone feels as I do when faced with VCDS etc.

You and I don't agree about quite a few things but I still respect your opinions.

:smiley:

In this case it can be fixed yourself however if under warranty a new part could be fitted.

The answers aren't always to be mistrusted and in fact as a registered owner you get a great deal of support from the guys at Ross Tech some of which can be found here for example -

....But Stu, in my case you already know I'm only just capable of changing a light bulb!

The bottom line is that I'm gobblygook-phobic and even the info on your Ross Tech links makes my eyes glaze over - That's just how I am. I pre-release test creative software for Adobe and have done for several years - I don't get involved in code writing but only pass judgements on interface and operation - That's how my brain is hard-wired. I use Apple Macs and not Microsoft products.

You clearly have a skill otherwise and are very comfortable with it.

Hi

I have just bought a GTi that has a revo stage 2 map. I have select plus unit. The guy I bought it off said that he had set it to factory output as his wife had been driving it over the last 6 months.

How the hell do I use the thing as I cant seem to find much about it!!! Any help out there please!!

Best to contact Revo HQ 01327 301901 and register your ownership and you should get full support.

Your Select box should have instructions on how to use.

Well they aren't great figures mate, but it will be interesting to put it on some other rollers (preferably DD rollers) to see if there is any difference.
I would recommend you try settings B8 T5 F9. These were my settings on Stage 1 and ran very very well..

Mines only managed 275ftlb of torque on several different rollers which i thought was low. Same engine with Revo stg1. Bhp has been between 297 and 305 tho. DP will see the torque value increase.

@DOMIT : tbh your graph looks good. work checking your timing pull though.
What fuel were you using on the day compared to golfgirls? (Tesco99 vs Shell or BP may just loose you that 10 bhp)
10bhp is within variance for diff cars/fuels etc , nearly 20 and you prob have something to fix/change to get that hp diff

Another good point.. Especially if running timing 6..
