Ottinger Chip

[Blitzen]

Ok...So after I hijacked a thread yesterday in regards to the Ottinger Chip(Sorry Maris), I have made some inquires and have got this information for you all.

In giving you this, it dosn't lead any ammo to the "My chip is better than yours" debate that many of these threads seem to break down into. It is just there for your consideration...

-The Ottinger chip possesses the same power gains as the APR chip(152kw, however, on the Ottinger web site the power figure is stated as 143kw, this is because the Ottinger power figure is measured in the DIN[Metric], and APR is measured in SAE[Imperial]...Both power figures would be the same if measured vice versa), and similar to both Revo (158kw) and Giac.

-The Ottinger program is non switchable, Because...

-The Ottinger program is covered by the Volkswagen factory warranty.

-The price of the Ottinger tune also covers the warranty paperwork required buy VW Group to cover the car. So long as the car is still within its warranty period, the Ottinger program can be added and still covered as a factory option.

good write up ryan.

definitely will give some people peace of mind in regards to 'void of warranty'.

is it only Oettinger that covers VW factory warranty.

Just cos it isn't there doesn't mean it's not a product. Check with Guy, there are a number of things missing off that site.

for the money a chip costs, it is not worth doing a naturally aspirated car. the power gains are minimal.....sometimes only maybe 6 or 7kW.

are you sure its covered by vw australia? because i have heard of 3rd party tuning in europe that is covered by warranty, but never in australia. it'll be at the top of my to-do list if its true

Thats exactly why I made the inquiry. I want keen on an ECU tune that had the possible ability to void my warranty in case in the far off chance something related to the ECU tune caused a problem with my car. From what I was told, the extra cost of the tune($250 per year) covers the warranty of the tune that extends to the vehicle itself(So long as the vehicle is still within its 3 year factory warranty). This paperwork is proof of the ECU tune. The warrenty can be extended out to 3 years at $250 per year.

Yeah...you just have to look at the REVO for the 1.4L Polo...75kw to 82kw...Dosn't seem worth it for $1499.

I didn't know there was a 75KW 1.4L. Ours is 55KW and the current model is 59KW.

Could that be the 1.6L?
