Hey all,

How can I check if a car has been chipped? Total novice question I know but where do I look and what am I looking for? Can they easily be spotted? I'd assume it'd have branding all over it?

Well ken if it is an Audi and its pre 00 it would be a chip. If you pop out the ECU and have a look inside you should see a chip carrier inside with a new chip on it. If its post 00 I can take a read off it and send the file to the lads in Germany I deal with and they will tell me if it has been remapped or not
