Default Conspiracy theory for the day
Could bugs (viruses) reside on vag systems at the dealer and therby be transfered to your car?
Purely random thought, posted without any further consideration. Not neccessarily a reflection of poster's vag, automotive or general knowlege.

Default No, viruses are usually transferred by key remotes. So be extra careful in parking lots
with other Audi/VW present...

Viruses for lower level Assembly language or just chip tuning?

Yeah, the dealer programs the stock chip to make sure the car breaks expensive parts after warranty
