REVO 5 hour trial

[Simmy]

The guy did have vag-com and tested for faults both before and after the remap - no errors both times, bar an airbag fault which he cleared for me But yeah, after running it for a couple of hours it might be worth checking it again.

I've got an 80k service tomorrow, so they will probably do one aswell.

Is yours 100% smooth when accelerating then?

I've had Revo on my 1.8T for over 3 years now and the only problem I had was the with the dv splitting when I first had it installed.

Most VAG owners go for a Forge 007 DV replacement, the original is a plastic Bosch part that isn't upto the job. I'd always do this prior to even the trial. They are only about 70quid and easily fittable yourself.

Alright Skidd!

Yeah I replaced the oem part with the Forge 007P about 20 minutes after having the trial installed, still going strong today! Have you had your LCR remapped yet?

Alright dude..

Naa, Sally won't let me warrenty, insurance, it's fast enough already etc... you know the score.

Things are going well so thinking about a porka next year of my own to free myself from the relationship car-sharing shackles . Plus the LCR is getting a bit chav for my liking. Not that the poof\hairdresser image appeals any more mind you...

 

[Giddy]

Which porka? The 996 is on my shortlist for my next car.

 

[Skiddley]

Bah, check you

No, considering a '03 plate 986 (Boxster) 3.2S with gadgets. Don't want to peak too early!

Nice I really like the Boxster, it was a toss up between that and the Z4. But the Z won it for me in the end.

...and who said anything about peaking

Sorry..schoolboy error there, should know better


Sorry for hijacking the thread, dude keep in touch. Better shoot for now...

How loud is the Forge 007 dump valve? It might explain the spikes if the original dv isn't upto the job.

Ok, just downloaded an oldish version of VAG-COM; version 311.2 from ross-tech's website I think.

Only let me do a few tests though as it wasn't registered. An interesting error came up though;

VAG-COM Version: Release 311.2-N


Chassis Type: 3B - VW Passat B5
Scan: 01,02,03,08,15,16,17,19,35,36,37,46,55,56,58

Address 01 -------------------------------------------------------
Controller: 4B0 906 018 AA
Component: 1.8L R4/5VT 0006

1 Fault Found:
16514 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor B1 S1: Malfunction in Circuit
P0130 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
Readiness: 0000 0000

Could that be the cause of the juddering? Or would it be a result of the revo trial? There were no faults before or after the remap was done according to Ian at powermap though (guy who fitted trial).

Its not loud at all, its a diverter valve not a dump valve
