who chipped it? they are responsible,
disconnect the battery and fit the old chip but before you connect the battery turn on all ancillaries ( lights/heated rear window etc etc ) that will drain all other memory from built in systems, connect battery positive first the ground ( that rests the air bags ) and good luck

Immobilizer wasn't equipped on the A4 until 2002 FYI.

It´s InMotion tuning i ordered from Austri and I live in Finland. I sent a mail to the guy and he told me to check the solders and if that didn´t help send the ECU to him.
But the strange thing is that Vag-Com don´t get a connection to the engine module at all... What could cause this??
And reguarding the soldering I had a professional Automotive electronics guy do that so it should be done properly.

Thanks for all the anwsers.

EDIT:
I checked the solders and they seemed to be fine...

Reguarding immobilizer: I do have a immobilizer of some kind but that might be added with the alarm system. When the car is locked and I try to start it won´t turn over.
But now when I try to start it turns over fine but it sounds like there is no spark or no fuel...

It was a bad solder but that did not solve it at first... I had to scrape the contact surfacec a bit and then it wored just fine...
WOW I HAVE A TURBO...
