Default Dropped my car at Audi last night for some stuff..

Peeling trim, bad window down, the hiccup of last week, rattle in the sunroof, etc. (Switcheed to stock mode prior to drop off)

Today they say the trim is all being tended to and ordered, the window get a new regulator or guid rail, the sunroof has a radar detecter wired into its control and being we would have to take down the headliner to look at the roof, we can't. So please remove the Radar detector and then come back.

The car is running to spec, not codes, everything seems fine. "Perhaps its the Chip Program in your ECU." That may have something to do with it and we can't explore it for obviouse reasons.

Bring your car back when the parts come in.

Default no chip flash only...

Very matter of fact.. "We could't find the glitch you spoke of, no codes, etc. But we noticed you r performance program in the ECU.. you may want you installer to check it out as this could be the cause."

Very easy IMO

I also have 83K on it with a special Audi extended

Default Eddie, please confirm..

I believe that depending on the type of ECU scan there are certain values that show up. Also, if the dear tries to reflash the ECU, they can't because APR encrypts the program preventing the flash.
