Didn't AMD do a chip for the 8v? Didn't know they did a 16v and goin by the 1986 (guessing its the year) it sounds like more for the Mk2 Golf 1.8 16v GTi

got a pic ?

most IC chips etc have an indent at one end to denote the orientation but to be honest i would be 110% it's right first

the lettering seems to be back up as a standard reprogrammable chip but where did you get it ?

piccie there to show you the dent in one end (left in that pic)

again i would wanna be sure what it's been programmed with first
