i got a mate with a mk6 1.8si who stupidly fitted a superchip to his car when it didnt match his ECU, after fitting it he took it for a run and it started playing up, lights flashing and stuff.

he took the chip out and disconnected battery and reconnected but now the car dont idle right or when cold from first start it will keep dropping the revs to about 300.

has he damaged the ecu? is there anything he can do?

any help will be much appreciated so i can tell him his a muppet..lol

 

After reconnecting the battery has he drove it cos it need's to be driven for a while so the ECU can set it's self again

 

Probably not damaged, just needs to re-learn as a certain smart arse has already attempted to inform you

 

Yep you know it you should to me

 

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

yer alright then

 

on my motor bike rsv mille if u put the chip in the wrong way it wipes it and have to get a new chp dont know if it is the same on these but worth a look
