just got my car back from getting the window regulator fixed. they ended up doing the 45k service while having it in there. they did a software update. come back to pick up my car. and now its slow....i already set up my appt through a revo dealership to get it back to being chipped. but this will be a long 3 days running stock.. shows me how much i took for granted how much fun the chip made the car lol

You didn't get the Select switch? Well that sucks, hope you make it through the long three days.

[xX|05:A4|Xx]

still wiped out all the programs.

[supamannn99]

they did the service without telling you?

[xX|05:A4|Xx]

i wasnt aware until i read the service invoice. luckily the only part letting me get the free revo flash.

They don't have to "ask" you to do a free service!

Why is this sad. I would think you would want the latest changes from the manufacturer.

was this the 'CH campaign' that was applied to you ecu? what does it say on the copy of the service form?

I love how concerned people get over an ECU reflash.

I love how concerned people get over an ECU reflash.

it's of concern if you have to pay to have your programs reinstalled

[AudiWxGuy]

I guess what I meant was, some of us make kind of a big deal of it. You've gotta pay to play. If they relfash you, just go back to your tuner, pay the $40 and be done with it. We drive Audi's. We should all be able to afford a $40 reflash....If you can't, you're driving the wrong car.

im not worried about the money. all i was talking about was the big difference of being chipped and stock. thats all. i am not concerned about paying to have it reflashed. and like i said my tuner is going to do it for free. my point was that i took for granted what driving around chipped felt like. thats all. nothing about money

and yes LAS i believe it was that update.

$75 to reflash at some tuners. It's more inconvenient than anything else. It's just a silly waste of time...you flash a program, they wipe it out put their updates, you then wipe their updates out and flash back your program back. A big cycle of waste really.

Funny that your regulator just went out. Both my driver and passenger fronts have gone out now (both this year). Hot weather seems to have something to do with it going out faster, but my dealership confirmed that our regulators blow...very very commonly replaced item on b7s.

Also, they're required to have you sign the consent form when you do a TSB flash with them. It's so if you have a tuner program, you can't sue them for wiping it out and if they mess up your ECM while trying to overwrite your program, they're not responsible for anything. Did you sign this form?

[xX|05:A4|Xx]

no. i didn't sign any form. lol all my post was about was that my car doesnt feel the same and how much of a pain it is to try to get to my tuner shop with my work schedule.

yeah but doesn't mean if we drive an audi, we can't complain about spending money. i drive an audi but i may not be rich.

ya i know. i feel for you. I recently went through the exact same thing. i agree with what you're saying. car feels like a lazy pig w/o the tuner flash. Makes you appreciate it that much more lol.

[AudiWxGuy]

true...good points from all.
