Iv sent him a PM asking detials about remap bit not heard anything back

Im half tempted to sod the warrenty and get it done. But I dont think I will, its not worth the risk.

Whats the chances of them finding out? I fitted a full stainless system to my saxo VTS and the lamber sensors went on the exhaust system and they still covered it under warranty. VW may be more on the ball but I doubt they would even notice.

My impression is if my engine when pop or anything like that as soon as they plugged in to my ECU they would know its been remapped and tell me push my back car home. Somone prove me wrong?

its difficult as they have to PROVE it was the remap that caused the failure - it becomes a tedious process as you'll claim its one thing, they'll claim its the map etc etc

I'd just wait mate. gives you more to look forward to, and it's not worth the risk really.

See if there is a REmap that wont destroy your warrenty

i know there are some Vauxhall tuners that do it

its not a mission it was literally just me,

take off front bumper,
take out airbox / remove standard pipe
remove passenger side headlight (can never remember which is o/s and n/s)
undo bolt holding batt down, remove battery(this gives you enough clearance to remove the standard tray
replace with DSG tray,
dremel the air box so new DSG pipe is a snug fit and reverse the above

Easy way to remember is, n/s is nearest the kerb.
