Default APR Chip & Lease return

Hi all,

My 2000 A4 is up for return (where I'll be swapping it for a 03 1.8t Avant) and I have an APR chip installed.

I can tune it to normal mode as many know, but the interface remains encrypted. I'm thinking I should either tell the dealer, or pay to have it returned to normal.

Anyone been through this before and have any tips on what the dealers might do if I told them

tx

Pete

Default See if you can swap ECUs with someone who's looking to chip...

you might even make a couple bucks in the process.

Pay to have the old oem installed (if you still have it) and wipe your hands clean of it.

Default Either put the car back to factory stock, or tell dealer.

There's been a few lawsuits where a person buys a used car thinking it is stock, has a factory warranty, and then gets denied when they go in for a warranty item. They've sued either the dealer who didn't disclose it (if the dealer knew), or the previous owner of the car.
