Virginia FAQ
Common questions from customers shipping from Virginia.
How long does shipping take from Virginia to your Arlington TX workshop?

Is there a vw/audi edc16 tdi immo delete shop in Virginia Beach I should use instead?
Most local Virginia Beach shops don't offer vw/audi edc16 tdi immo delete as a bench service — they'd send the part to someone like us anyway. Going direct saves the markup and shortens the timeline. Total round-trip from Virginia Beach: typically 5-7 days.
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.
Will the glow plugs / preheat / EGR / DPF still work?
Yes. The IMMO delete is surgical — only the immobilizer authentication code is disabled. All diesel-specific systems (glow plugs, preheat cycle, EGR, DPF regen, particulate sensor) continue to function normally.
