Default Complexity D3

I am extremely interested in chipping my new A8 when it gets delivered this weekend.

The reservations I have, however, mean that I am none to keen to proceed with such a project.

So my questions are; How does a chip work, what does it affect in a car, and could an engine modification mess up the rest of the car's onboard computers?

Thanks

How far off the green is it?????? LOL Can you imagine the size of that club?? A chip changes the way the computer does just about everything. I chipped my 00 `vette so the fuel mixture and timing are different for example. If you get a chip specifically made for your vehicle then there SHOULD be no problem. Of coures, I am only speaking from my experience. Good luck and let us know the outcome.

Beware of unfreindly service departments.
