Chip Owners! - When you purchased your new ECU/Chip, did it look like it was installed before? (m)
I just recieved my new ECU and chip, and there are scratches all over the top of the ECU just like it was taken in and out of a car many times before. It looks like it was used, so I'm wondering what's up... do they all come like this? Are they tested in cars before shipped out to customers?? What gives?

From what I've seen/read/heard APR & AWE only sell new ones
Now I suppose there's a chance that just the metal casing was swapped for whatever reason, but that the ECU circuit board itself was brand new

Check it for DTCs with a VAG COM. Got one from a tuner that was loaded before I started it up in my
car. Cleared them out and it hasn't thrown one since. Maybe it was a return, but I don't care because it runs like a champ in my car.
