please don't tell me to read the archive just because my post includes the word "chip", i've wasted enough time sifting through the haystack of misinformation. SO, HAS ANYONE WITH A CHIPPED A4 PUT OVER 25,000 OR 30,000 ON THEIR CAR *SINCE THEY GOT IT CHIPPED*? if so, can you please post your opinion on LONG-TERM reliability/driveability<br>Thanks a lot<br>Mark<br>

I have a connection to Wetterauer so some people may feel this is a bit biased:<p>There are several 1.8T Wetterauer chipped cars in Germany with over 180000km (chipped) on them and no problem.<p>Marko Litmanen<br>A3 1.8T Wett 1.0 Beta

I have a wett chip in a tip 1.8 with 34,000 miles I chipped the car at 2,000 miles I have not had any problems with the chip Nor have I had problems <br>with the dealer as far as service. I am very happy with the chip Once I get past the warranty I might change the turbo to get the extra 35 hp

Since you didn't specify...I'll give the 2.8 perspective. I have a 2.8 Wett chip that I put in around 10K miles (I think). I now have 39K miles with no problems.<p>- Josh<br>- '98 A4q 2.8

I went to a chip with 2.5K on the car, and I have 27K on it now, unfortunately it's only a year old, but what can I say, I really like to drive it. I've also changed the turbo to a K04 and made a ton of other changes. You can check the archives if you like (:-).<p>Anyway, short of a couple of little issues with performance tweaks on the chip, I've had 0 problems, the dealer if very chip friendly and told me to leave it in instead of change it back to stock when I take it in.<p>If I had to figure, the turbo went on at about 5K miles, so it's well worn as well!<p>Alan

I have Hoppen's chip... no problems at all... even in colorado @ 14000 feet.<p>Rich Quinlan<ul><li><a href="http://home.att.net/~richquinlan">Quinland</a></li></ul>
