Evening guys,
Long time reader, finally manned up and got the Revo after my last 10k, figured car was broken in and I knew what it was all about in stock mode.
Was assured Revo Stage One would not do anything wrong to my car, so went ahead with it.
Be advised...this was not the case for me. I have the latest updates from VW, I just had my 10k done on my 2008 5 door 6spM GTI.
Long story short immediately after my stage one was installed, the MFD exhibited some strange behavior. Basically when the driver door is open the MFD, shows the passenger door is open and vice versa. Weird thing is back doors display fine. No big deal right?
My installer contacted Revo, but since it was a Saturday, they did not want to help much. You know, not like my time is important too...Maybe not a big deal, but this is just the kind of funky stuff I think that would lead to dealers sniffing around when they see it. No?
Anyway, neither my installer nor Revo were much help and ultimately sent me to the dealer after the installer played with Vag Com for an hour, with no luck for recoding the MFD problem. So I stopped in briefly, and my dealer's master mechanic had never seen such a thing, yes I reverted back to stock, installer was nice enough to let me borrow his device, the mechanic said I would have to schedule a formal diagnoistic. Great so much for my warranty, I guess.
Gotta love the Revo site, no contact # there for me to call. So I am here.
They sure advertise a lot on this site to not have direct dial phone number. Maybe the Revo software is no longer current, for MKV's? I have read others thinking this...
Whats going on here? Anyone else run into funky stuff like this? I mean I can live with the door display being reversed when the doors are open, but it leads me to think other stuff accidentally got messed, or the remapped ECU will be seen when I go in for my 15k. Love the performance of the flash its good, but this is not at all what I expected, not at all...and so far not worth the extra time and head aches this beginning to cause.
Thoughts anyone?
