joeSA Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Hi guys Since Revo do the remap through a port under the dash,is it impossible to get your car Revo chipped if your car is not physically there? For guys like me outside the UK is there another way that the ecu can be remapped? Later Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Good idea, how about chipping over the internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollox Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 you can send Revo your ECU and they can program it on the bench by connecting directly to the main connector. No need to open it, or solder etc. Give 'em a call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeSA Posted April 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 Thanx Inigo I will send Revo an email. I am just not sure I will be comfortable sending my ECU half way around the world. how difficult is it to remove the ECU and then install it again?

Lagoo Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 JoeSa, Its very easy to take out the ECU! Its located under the scuttle. I am sure that Graham(Hopsta) will be able to tell to the actual procedure as i know he has done it, aswell as Carless Colin!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagoo Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 Joesa, Graham has pointed me to this ECU removal It was found on the APR website. Hope it helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobK Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 I think it's in a different place on the S3 though. You've got to take the wipers off and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeSA Posted April 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 Thanx Guys I will have a look. So is there anybody here that has shipped their ecu to a tuner? Later Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollox Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 Removing your ECU should be a piece of cake. It only gets complicated on later S3s that have the protective cradle around the ECU. This actually needs to be broken to get to the ECU and then replaced with a new cradle (I'm sure Revo can sell you a new cradle). If there's no protective cradle then its just a case of removing one wiper (to allow the scuttle panel to lift), lifting the scuttle panel, unclipping the ECU from its mountings and disconnecting the cables.

joeSA Posted April 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 Finally got a response from the REVO guys today (understand they are really busy) and they confirmed that they can load their software if I ship my ECU to them. I will wait a while until things cool down a bit at REVO before I decide whether to ship my ECU.If I do decide to do it then I will get all the REVO options to make it worth while Later Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
