Even if it was under warrenty, hasn't the dealer got to prove scientifically that the remap has caused the failure of any parts?

yep although they will make it as difficult as possible

if its non engine related warranty then it should be a piece of cake

All of this is irrelevant on a MK4 though  :grin: :grin:
