PowerLoader II Question
I loaded the PCM in my 2000 A4 two years ago with Powerloader II mods. It's been great. I just had some work done on the car and the dealer reflashed the PCM (they called it being re-calibrated on the service report). Can I safely reload the PL II program? Or, is there a chance the GM may have made some changes to the PCM in this reflash that are incompatible?

You can re-install the PLII. It will overwrite what the dealer did, just like when you 1st installed it, and it overwrote the factory programming.

Don't get me started on this..Bottom line Steve Cole forgot you after he delivered the PLII..There is NO customer support at all..PERIOD!
If you go with new gears, head and cam ..ANYTHING that requires a reprogram you might as well start shopping for a shop that does LS1 Edit or other options to reprogram the car..Steve Cole is NOT your man..nuff said! :yesnod:

In other words, he laughed all the way to the bank!:steering:
It would be kind of nice to know what part of the program the dealer upgraded in your PCM.
