Default uh oh, piggie, that means that they think my ECM is shot and are gonna replace it.....
that makes no sense.

argggg

i am running 93oct APR with EMCS in it.

they are ordering an ECM by tues. i guess they dont know it is chipped.

hmmmm, but once they send off to audi, they will.

can i ask for the old ECU (the one i put APR into) back?

this all started with a CEL turning on early yesterday.

Default if they warranty it, they say they return the item, but, you may want to dig through their trash at
night, just in case ;p

Default oh, dude, i never knew it was chipped! oh man. take the chip off first and revert to stock....
then have them warrantee the thing. i can't believe they'd warrant a chipped ecu though ...do they even know?
