Revo Technik Software

You might want to be careful what you write on the forum, in case it prevents you getting warranty work done in the future.

ok then the first lot of problems was with the Revo tune, ended up blowing a turbo the problem to be exact was the propellers in the turbo sheared off and went into the back of the engine, not sure how or why that happened but that problem got me a new engine, turbo and full exhaust.
Prior the turbo blowing up there was no problems or strange noises just bang smoke was poring out the back.
now Vw did all of the warranty work no questions asked which wouldn't have been cheap if you add all of the parts and labour up.


The 2nd lot of problems was couple of months later where i had more turbo problems and ended up blowing another turbo, again no noises or anything strange. Again vw replaced the turbo no questions asked though i might add this time the car was stock as i had got rid of the Revo after my first bit of back luck.

I won't go into details of the other problems that i have had with my car as they aren't related in anyway

The engine was covered in warranty even though you had the chip installed?
I didnt know they would cover it?

It seems time for a reminder that the Mk 6 Golf GTI motor isn't really that new worldwide (only "new" to the Oz market).

This engine (EA888 family, with cam chains and more lobes on the HPFP cam, so presumably a different fuel pump) was fitted to the Mk V Golf GTI in the US market for quite some time before the Mk 6 was released - IIRC for at least 18 months. The 1.8L version has been available in Audis and Skodas for several years.

This means that US tuners at least have had lots of time to come up with remaps and refine them (and show up any serious reliablity problems if there were going to be any).

I'll be catching up with my mate over the weekend and I'll have a chat to him more about it. Didnt really have a long conversation about it last time and it was just mentioned in the passing.

I may be mistaken between it being the MKV or MKVI, but it was the TSI (twincharged) family for sure, and its all here in Sydney...

Please try to get him to be as specific as possible, as the "TSI" badge no longer means twincharged - in recent times the VAG marketers have applied it to all their forced induction petrol engines (whether single turbo, s/c AND turbo, or s/c only).

Yeap guess it was, i was worried that they were going to start asking questions as to why my car wasn't standard , im guessing they didn't care or even pick it up on the fact that my ecu had been changed around.
