A battery disconnect normally resets REVO and locks my APR into its current mode requiring PIN.  So if your car feels slow it is probably the reason for you too, speak to your mapper  :happy2:

Your loss of battery power may have caused your dsg fuzzy memory to reset to default.
Go for a spirited drive and your 'speed' should resume as the box relearns your driving pattern.

Hello,

The remap will not switch areas or run lower power when the battery goes flat, but you could have a few fault codes stored which are causing low power or false apaptions.
 Its a goof idea to get it on to a fault code reader and checked out. You always welcome to pop to us and we will check it out and give her a power run and logging session £foc.
