Linus Van Pelt 0 Posted June 15, 2004 ...is there any way to find out if a car has had a re-map without sticking it on a rolling road? (No, this isn't some dodgy insurance question :lol:) TIA DtM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 15, 2004 Take the ECU apart and look for evidence of chip work. Most, if not all VW ECUs, of that era had hardwired chips. If there's a chip holder and a chip with a hand written Serial number or something written on it, it's been chipped. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Linus Van Pelt 0 Posted June 15, 2004 Thanks Kev. Forgive my 'numptyness' :oops: but where does Mr ECU live? Cheers, DtM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
