I’ve been considering selling my 07 S4 recently, and trying to find out what it would take to get it back into stock configuration. Selling it stock seems to be the way to get the most value both for the car and the aftermarket parts.
This includes a FI catback, Stasis ohlins (probably won’t get much for these), and my JHM tune.
I got my tune back in 2011 when you had to send in your ECU, and I was told by JHM that there are JHM parts on my ECU and the only way to flash it back to stock is to send in my ECU and pay a 110.00 fee since there is soldering required to remove the JHM parts.
Does anyone have insight on why this is, and what these parts are? I’m a little annoyed that I have to pay 150-200 dollars (guessing on shipping) to get my ecu flashed to stock, but can understand the cost of doing business.
I guess it’s frustrating since this process is no longer required with the new flashing process, but I’m subject to it and didn’t really understand it would be required when I purchased the tune.
