mutley Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 some people have had issue with a superchip working with different revisions of ecu's in escorts as theirs more than one.. but you could always phone superchips up and see if they will reflash it if it dont work.. worth a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gti.tom Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 STOP STOP STOP IT WILL NOT WORK. Unless, and this is so unlikely, you have the same ecu code as the chip was originally flashed for. SECONDLY superchips have had several problems with chips for the gti, Involving rough running. There was two version of chip made. And to be honest you probably wont know which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gti.tom Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I made this mistake and bought one off ebay. Paid £120. Phoned superchips. Guess what, wrong version of chip and needed to be re-flashed. Re-flashing costs £50+ Had to sell it honestly on ebay and only got £45. Ive seen that chip since on ebay. There's loads now that are all getting mixed up. It's a big risk and to be honest not worth it. It's only £250 new with fitting, guarantee etc etc You can tell im passionate about this.

Guest gti.tom Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 To make that clear, the right version of chip can be re-flashed. Most and the one I bought are useless unless youve got a festa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 It's a waste of time buying a chip for a n/a escort.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
