Post by: bobbarley on 23 May 2009, 08:44: Some nice immo3 dials would work nicely. Some Anni dials, Bora sport, or R32 dials always go down well :)

because VW start buiiklding their cars for the next year around June / July time

for example a car built in September 2001 will be classed as a MY02 car and therefore have the same specs as a car built in January 2002. A car built in February 2001 will be an MY01 car

there is an outside chance that the EEPROM will corrupt and you'll be stuck with a car that doesn't move though i've never heard of it actually happening

you also got to make sure you reprogram the correct part of the EEPROM :wink:
