Revo maps go back to their basic settings if the battery has been disconnected. It can be put back to the required setting with a Revo SPS or by going back to the Revo dealer if this is the case

Update time, replaced the fuel pressure sensor, took the car out and it went back to its normal brutal self! Then 10 mins later it went back again to stock! Took it back to the garage where My mate has the diagnostic machine and it came up again with the fuel pressure sensor! So he again cleared the codes from the ECU and again it rips like a stage 2 should! So.... spoke to Vagtech and they seem to think it could be a possible wiring issue which they are going to look into on Tuesday for me! But not only that they said as the previous owner has put an updated fuel pump on it and not gone and got stage 2+ done it could of been running too rich for the amount of time it's and the new uprated fuel pump too!It won't run rich on a Stage 2 map because of an uprated pump. The pump will only supply as much fuel as the ECU requests. If anything, having an uprated pump with a Stage 2 map is more reliable than with a standard pump, ie you won't get fuel cuts like you sometimes can with Stage 2 and a standard pump.

Good luck getting it sorted anyway bud - it's probably a sensor causing the issues.

Cheers mate! Hopefully it'll be some sort of wiring issue and it'll be fixed Thursday

Good to know you are well and alive and kicking!
My red chariot Mk5 is still going strong (on Revo Stage 2) and had a deep maintenance done by JKM last July just to keep her well maintained and running. Coming up to 127,000 miles of fun!
I'm not often here but just occasionally when someone tags me.

Hi Robin! Great to hear from you... Are JKM as good as ever? I will probably be taking the car to them to get a LOT done:
1. Full Service including things like spark plugs etc
2. DSG Gear Oil change
3. Lean fuel issue sorted - I believe that after 8 years - wow has it really been that long?! - we have a limited number of potential solutions from what I have read.
4. Will probably have to replace the brand new Michelin Pilot Sport 2's that I had fitted in 2009 and never used :fighting:
5. Engine Cam chain and tensioner.
etc... its going to cost a bomb I'm sure. It has been stored in a heated garage with battery conditioner fitted since then at £100 a month, so thats around £8000+ spent on storage since 2010 :rolleye:

....Yes, I can put my hand on my heart and without any hesitation whatsoever say that they are as good as ever. They have looked after my car, including MOTs for I think over 10 years. They treat your car as if it was their personal car.
Just call Kate and discuss what you would like to do.
