I chipped finally and also got the stock chip with the new ecu, so my old ecu can go.
Its a stock 018Q box, out of a tiptronic Drive-By-Wire car. Good for anyone looking to
chip their car without having downtime. The 081Q box is not common, and took me about
5 months to find one used.

This box will only work with a 1.8t 2000 automatic A4.

And 2000 ECU's cannot be recoded to work with a different tranny type,
so this cannot be recoded for a manual transmission of the same year. I have tried.

So if you have a 2000 A4 auto/tip and wanna chip, lemme know.

Price - $170

 

Same one I needed. I finally gave up after looking for 4 months. All I could find was 018P which wouldn't help.

 

her brrman will it work on my 99.5 tiptron, i cant find a spare ecu anywhere
