Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

      I have been looking at these too. Does anyone know if they do anything other than make money for the seller?

          I am sure they do a little bit more than make money for the seller. The chips only cost pennies so he is going to make money out of it. I don't reckon its funding a champagne lifestyle though.

          Will update the thread when it arrives and I have had a run round the block.

                    There was an admin error and I got a chip for a VR6, just waiting on the replacement to arrive. Meanwhile I have a VR6 chip sat around for an ECU ending in AG, If it's any use to anyone PM me.

                        Once you get it fitted and trialed, post your feedback! Would like to know if they are a worthy 30 pounds.

                          I reckon it's worth 30 quid for sure.

                          Had a chance to have a drive around now. Runs superb as it warms up but started to get some pinking once up to full temp.

                          I wasn't worried as I had set the timing and it would be pretty unusual that it would run perfect without.

                          It was a couple of degrees out which I have corrected now. Will report further, probably tomorrow.

                          Revs for ages now, runs way past 6000, I never went that far before as it didn't seem comfortable.

                          Also noted that I haven't experienced any bogging down at all, I sometimes caught it out during gearchanges but that's gone now.

                          Consumption seems to be better too but I have been doing longer runs out of town the last 2 days.

                          More soon

                            Just put mine in, haven't had a good run around yet as i need to drive for a bit to get a nice quiet open road and everywhere around here is 40 or the main road, plus i'm kinda hungover

                            From the run i had, it seems more responsive and picks up a bit quicker well worth the $50 it cost me.

                              So it seems like a decent upgrade aye? How much and how long did the shipping take?
