Default How long did you remain stock before an ECU reflash?

Any one else still running the stock engine management software? Had my TT for 18 months and just now getting round to a reflash. Surely there is something wrong with me!!

Default 'bout 5 months in 2001...

but changed it twice since so you sound a bit saner by comparison.

Default Less than 24 hours...

and it was only that long because I couldn't get to the shop before they closed by the time I wrapped up the TT! (Of course I had been running APR's software on my A4 for 112,000 miles without issue at the time)
