Default Can the ECU be FLashed

can the ecu be flashed in an 1998 A4 1.8T???

Just got off the phone with my tuner and he says he has to check with apr if they can flash the ecu in a 98 1.8T...

Any answers would be great

Thankx

With the older ones you can not. My 99.5 can not so im almost sure your can not. I had to solder on a new chip instead of flashing. I THINK its 2001 started the ones that can be flashed but I could be wrong.

Solder for up to 99.5, 00 is a bench flash (still have to remove ecu) and 01+ is a flash done through the OBD port- I think.
