Hey Mister_duck,

How much was the reflash and what was their take on warranty issues?

[broady69]

I've had the REVO done to my Polo TDI and was really impressed by the results.

The best thing about the REVO though, is the fact that it's just a software reflash through VAG-COM and no installation is necessary and no parts are fitted to the vehicle. This means the dealers have absolutely no way of seeing a chip installed, yet are baffled to find the power so high. One dealer told me that he he would need a hexidecimal decoder something to find that the system had been altered.

The only tell-tale sign of REVO installation is an electronics fault on VAG-COM but after about 50km of driving the fault code goes away on it's own.

You can also purchase one of these:



It's a switch to turn the REVO on and off at your discretion but you have to pay extra for the unit.

Hi mate
Vag-com in advance feature screen will show up: PROGRAMMING ATTEMPTS - and how many.
So, dealer will not tell you that they found anything, because they don't need to, when you came for service. But could certainly use it against you to void the warranty should there be any engine failure related to increased power output from engine.

^^^^ this is very interesting. pardon my ignorance and lack of education in this regard, but i have no real experience of these things, which is why i will indulge myself and ask one GAGILLION questions:

ive been looking to get an oettinger chip- is revo the same thing, a new map uploaded into the ecu, increasing performance (kw and nm) whilst safely working within the capabilities of the engine?

if so, what made you go for revo over oettinger (as far as i know these are two of the main ecu-reflash products out there)? as far as i understand, revo has a few more kw and a few less nm, but do you find your pug Tdi much more responsive than before?

if you dont mind me asking- how much was the reflash? from what i could see, it could be significantly less than oettinger, which would be motivation for me to tip towards revo, but essentially mr broady69, im keen to know your experience/ comparisons of your polo tdi from before-after, how the car feels and if you've had any issues, and also if you waited for your 15,000 or 30,000 service before you got it chipped.

any feedback would be sweet (sweet as in "dude, that's friggin' sweeeet!" rather than "i like you because you are so sweet to me").

cheers.
