Depends if you tell them or not..........it will only affect your engine and not the rest of the car

Even if something does go wrong they would have to prove it was down to the remap.  99.9% of failures are down to weak components anyway.

I wouldn't worry about it  :smiley:

You don't have to tell them their diagnosic will then them if its been rechipped.

It will depend on what the warranty claim is for. Warranty claims are for weak components but your chipping it that will make it even weaker.

You may as well go for the plugin box the then can unplug it if it has to go back for a warranty claim as the plugin boxes don't write to the ecu there is won't be picked up.

DTUK Golf 2.0TDI (http://www.dieseltuninguk.com/vehicle_results.php?make=VW&model=GOLF&type=MK6+2.0TDI) upto 205PS.

This has been talked about before on here if you search.

Get it mapped and don't mention it to them. You'll be fine! Plus you'll love the extra power! Plus if worse came to worse, get the map back to standard?
