what age is your golf? you must have an obd1 engine cos the chips were soldered, mines obd2 so should be plug and play

soldering a tiny chip would be a mission   :undecided:

n reg early 1996 .

there not tiny tiny there like 3cm long , as far as im aware you melt the solder remove . and the new one is press fit . but i am not taking a soldering iron anywhere near my cars brain because if that solder melts over other contacts joining them will cause a whole world of sh*t .

may get a pro to do it  :nerd:
