Looking to remap my mk2 FL octy vrs, petrol. Does anyone know what a good place to get it remapped? Just looking for an ECU map, nothing too crazy and preferably not too far from london.

I've heard of revolution, apr, etc. but I don't think they do dyno runs to test it. Saw r-tech too, but they say only 98 ron+, when sometimes I run 97 and 95 ron.

Best go to a tuner with a dyno.

If you want better performance and your car runs well now on the Plugs, Coils Air Filter Intake then running Tesco Momentum 99 or the likes is surely worth the under £3 a tank fill extra.

If you see a 98 Ron Super Unleaded & the possible ps / Nm then i take it your are looking at some ready to upload map.

E5 is the UK is 97 ron min or 99 ron Min. There has been no 98 ron min on sale for well over a decade.

I usually run Tesco or Costco premium, the latter being 97ron. But since I daily the car I’ve come across some stations that didn’t have premium in stock and only 95. Worried I’d do damage running the car on 95 even if it’s just for one day/ until I reach a different station.

I have no experience of using this company myself but have heard good reports from someone I know who has used them, they have a rolling road at their main site in Milton Keynes which they use for development work, used to be wholly owned by VW UK and now have dealers that sell and fit their products across the country.

Running E10 95 will not do damage, it is a road car is it not, not far from London.

Maybe just stick to Sainsbury, Gulf, Esso, Tesco, Shell, Taxaco, BP stations with E5.

Or do you travel to North of Scotland where even their we can get E5?

Costco was 99 Ron Min, is it really back to 97 ron MIN. ?

97 Min can be 99 Ron E5, they are buying in from who is selling them at a good price.

Like Greeenergy (Tesco part owned) that produces the 99 Ron min for Tesco & Esso.

(not Esso in all of the UK.)

Greenergy is wholly owned by Trafigura https://www.trafigura.com/news-and-insights/press-releases/2024/trafigura-completes-acquisition-of-greenergy/

@cnc Thanks.

Good to know that Tesco PLC has no financial interest now, not even in the new owners.

Have they actually no financial involvement now?

Yeah Costco is E5, but it’s only 97.

So they have 97 ron Min. showing on the pumps

& they say they have the same additives in both unleaded,s they sell.

Meaning that they can have 99 ron in their tanks at some locations.

Just like Tesco Momentum 99 can exceed 99 ron if buying in from Refineries or Stock for the UK after Winter Grade Petrol is not distributed on Continental Europe or elsewhere.

You might notice the difference on what you get where once you have the remap.

The Winter Spec petrol is mostly stopped being distributed during March.

I had a Revo stage one on my 2015 Mk3 vRS TSI DSG (EA888 G3) and was very happy with it. Had it done at JKM in Portsmouth - who have a dyno. It took it to north of 300bhp (from 217bhp/220ps) and the performance difference was quite noticeable. Jim at JKM said to run it on Momentum 99, which it was in any case. Revo maps seem to polarise people, a lot saying they're quite aggressive. I get where they're coming from, but you do get used to it quite quickly, and moderate your right foot accordingly.

Did they do like a "health check" on the car before installing the revo software?

And they dyno'd it before and after?

The car properly serviced and running the hardware / consumables it will pre remap is important.

So plugs, coils, air intakes fitted and no misfires pre mapping.

Know what the car has power wise before and after. or just Splash the £400 quid and maybe then have issues / regrets.

Car had been with them on two previous RR days and was known to be in fine fettle, but they did do a software update while it was with them.

No dyne done at the time of the remap - my fault as I neglected to book it at the time of booking the appointment.
