it was ok though because they sorted me out with another chip'n'spin mobile dealer, he was the best in the business on old sheds apparently. he soldered the wrong chip in the next day (must be because they are so rare and have been deleted).
after i said that the car wasn't running right to the mobile tuner and gave him the vag com errors, he came back the next day and told me to bring the old chip with me, because he needed the software from it, to modify it and make it better (yes i know it's all bs). in reality he needed the old chip to solder it back into my ecu, or at best copy the code from my original chip and flash it to a new one, and then solder that in.
so the short version is that i am Ł250 down, and the car is exactly the same as when i foolishly thought that going to these clowns might be a good idea.
This is the first I've heard of this! You have not contacted myself about this problem. Firstly he's not one of my dealers, he's a Chipped UK dealer like myself and I know is work is good, secondly it's not the ECU that has been deleted/discontinued it's the Chip the goes insode the ECU. If you'd have contacted muself or Chipped UK we would have sorted this issue out for you. But you didn't and just choose to leave negative commets. Like I said we would have sort you out one way or another if you'd had let me know.
