reflash

octav.ed · 26-12-2007, 04:25

roughly how much would a reflash of the latest version of revo code be?

revomike · 04-01-2008, 12:55

On what spec car bud..

for the 180hp's its 399+ vat

thanks

If you are already REVO'd then I'd think its either FOC or a labour charge by the dealer isn't it?

The £399+ is a new flash surely.

its a 130bhp revo'd to 170 bhp.

about 3 1/2 years ago.

lot slower now tho...

**VRStu** · 07-01-2008, 07:55

Probably not the code but ancilliary components such as MAF and EGR.

revomike · 07-01-2008, 17:48

Or ur just getting used to it...

look at some of the Air inteke pipes on the Td's

thanks

checked seem ok.

as 1s't ?

Surely it should be free since its just an update? You not ring triple 7 and ask?

suppose i should get the finger out...

revomike · 10-01-2008, 10:17

It will be FOC , but they might charge to fit it.. Work shop hour or somthing..

Up to them sorry..

Thanks

It's not going to be the software causing the car to be slower, either you've a problem with a component (most likely MAF) or the car has been unhappy with the conditions/use and the ECU adaptation values are very low. I'd reset the adaptation and check the MAF values.
We've had a couple of owners that used to drop in with similar issues, there were no problems with the software or their cars... it turned out they did a weekly top speed run down the M40 and spent far to much time the wrong side of 150mph... cars got hot and the ECU pulls back!

speed .

umm. i know for a fact mine won't do 150mph.

i thought u had to give her the diddy so ecu would know to stay up... ie train it?

RevoKev · 18-01-2008, 11:21

The ECU will adapt after a reset/reflash/etc. However adaptation is part of the ECUs safety features, if something starts to work out of tolerance it will pull the requested values back/alter correctional factors to compensate. This is what's happening when cars feel like they're loosing power over time.
It wasn't PD130's doing over 150mph, that was just an example!

Do you happen to know if there are any updates for 1.8T 4x4 which was done 2 years ago?

RevoKev · 23-01-2008, 14:23

It would depend on the ECU ID, but it's unlikely. Most updates are done to suit newer factory versions or to support newer flashing protocol. Our tuning on the 1.8t hasn't changed in the last couple of years.

Tom_vRS · 23-01-2008, 15:40

How do you force the adaption values to reset??
