OK, now that I am putting together my list of what I want to do the car over the winter, did I read this whole discussion topic correctly......that the ECU is completely open now?? Can someone, in a clear and easy to understand way, describe what happened in the GCR concerning this? I have an OBD I 1994 Golf and it used to be that I could work on the chip inside the existing housing of the ECU, but could not change any part of the wiring etc, correct? Now, if I have waded through the various posts correctly, we can do whatever we want to the computer management system of the car? Am I oversimplifying?

help........and didn't mean to hijack THIS thread, just trying to not start another multi-page deal.

thanks,

Tim,
You read it correctly. You can do what ever you'd like to your computer system...even run the whole thing on bird poop...just so long as you have your washer bottle you're good!!


Sorry I just could stop myself...
