Is there a vw/audi edc16 tdi immo delete shop in Washington DC I should use instead?
Most Washington DC shops don't keep the bench equipment for vw/audi edc16 tdi immo delete — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Cross-country northeast — about 3 days each way.
Does District of Columbia vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
The District of Columbia requires a biennial safety and emissions inspection for registered vehicles through the DMV. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all District of Columbia and federal requirements.
How is this different from your MED17/ME17 service?
Different ECU family. MED17/ME17 = newer Continental gas + diesel ECUs (2008+). EDC16 = older Bosch diesel-only ECUs (2004-2009). The bench process, tooling, and chip access are different, hence a separate service listing. Same flat $250.
Can you do this on a TDi engine swap (TDi into a non-TDi chassis)?
Yes. TDi-swap into VW/Audi or other VAG chassis is one of the most common reasons for this service — the cluster IMMO chain doesn't exist in the donor chassis, so removing it at the ECU level lets the engine run cleanly.
