Default well, it says T.A.P.? Would leave me to believe its from TAP=total audi performance...

which in turn= CRAP...is it a b5? never heard anyone get TAP sw on the b6, which doesnt mean noone has, but i havent heard any mention of TAP in years..

Default bingo!...it would have to be a B5 since it has date of 1999 on it.

Default They are now just used as a joke on the boards...

Honestly if I found out my car had that software in it, i'd take the car back and tell them I want my money back or an engine warranty. If you want to be sure and safe, just pick up a vag com and do some datalogging to see how you are running. cheers! Mike

Default agreed, i'd reassess all terms of your deal and assumptions under which the purchase was made...

i'd study the history of the vehicle and some logs, and all seems fine, id get that chip out asap
