Re: altitude

I looked up some information about vag-com. Using a PC hookup to
check my VW systems could be interesting and cost effective. I notice
there are a few brands with a range of prices, shareware vs full
versions of the software, wireless, and other differences, too. Does
Ross-tech set the standard? Any comparisons appreciated.

Don't worry, be happy... because the ECU has an internal MAP sensor which
compensates for elevation changes. If you got a Ross-tech vag I can tell you
where to look for the value.

About five years ago I drove my '89 16v Jetta through Colorado into
Utah (from Virginia) with a Mad River canoe on the Yakima roof rack.
The engine was not happy going up up up. I remember that I dropped
below 60mph a few times.
Now I have the v6 Jetta. I suppose the 1.8 turbos have no problem at
10K feet, but I wonder how the v6 would handle it. Does the 'chip'
controller do any sensing of altitude for changing the fuel air
mixtures in my 2003 GLI? How smart is the chip?
