Speak to Guy_H or Lams as they are the distributor for both in Aus. I remember chating to Guy about it a while ago - something to do with import taxes or something makes it not so good value for the Oettinger? I could be way off but it was something along those lines.

I believe the Oettinger and APR chips are 100% identical. The only difference is the price and the fact that Oettinger offer a warranty.

I could be wrong.

That's what I've been told as well. Only reason the Oettinger is rated lower is because of some German standard (Guy or Alex from HP can shed more light on that).

Basically, they all offer "a warranty", the terms and relevance of which have been argued here and on other forums a few times. Bear in mind that you are also have some cover under the consumer protection provisions of the Trade Practices Act.

Fair enough. I was speaking to my local VW dealer and he stated that the Ottinger chip was the only chip officially covered by VW Group.
