Rumor overheard??
My friend recently told me that a dealer told him he could do anything on an Audi/VW in terms of modding and you wont lose your warranty as long as you dont touch your ECU. For some reason i have a hard time believing this. Is there truth to this??? Thanx

RE: Rumor overheard??
no its lies
|
RE: Rumor overheard??
i dont think so
|
RE: Rumor overheard??
You can do anything you like, you only lose the warranty of the parts you replaced or any defect relating to the mods
|
RE: Rumor overheard??
it does make sense but they can only void it if they prove that mod cause that problem

RE: Rumor overheard??
Lies all Lies I tell you!!
to tell the truth it depends on the dealer...some warranty modded cars, others like the one I worked for saw an exhaust or intake and would void the warranty. We wouldnt even look into unless they were a cash customer, even if the parts had no effect on the broken part. ORIGINAL: Slowb5 ORIGINAL: TGPorsche96 ya thats what i thought because of the magnussen act of 1976 uhhh....whats that? Its an act passed saying dealers can void warranty work if the car is modified, well if the part affects said stock covered part I believe. |
RE: Rumor overheard??
Yeah that's just lies. The dealer won't can't void all of your warranty. Only if your mod caused the part in question to fail.

RE: Rumor overheard??
it protects the people from bs warranty voiding... you may need a lawyer to argue your warranty back after the dealer voids it, which sucks, but it needs to be proven "beyond the shadow of a doubt" that what you did caused the damage.
