I tried having the Unitronic chip installed on 3 seperate occassions and each time the program failed to load. I exchanged more than a dozen e-mails with Unitronic headquarters. Unitronic continued to tell me that they were still working on the necessary software to have their dealers install the 4.2 "chip". They said the only option was to remove the ECU from the car and send it to them for the upgrade. As a result, I decided to pass on the Unitronic software.

05 and 06 are 40-valve non-FSI 4.2 engines and were listed on Ward's top ten engines on the planet list.

07 - 11 are 32-valve FSI 4.2 engines.
