No lol

Lol why not only that part is modified

As a result of the modification to the ECU you have potentially impacted on other components within the vehicle.
Any failure of these parts that would be deemed to have been affected by the change to the ECU will not be covered by warranty.


Its like putting a pressurised water/heating system into your home then your existing shower starts to leak (because it's not designed to work with high pressure systems0  The shower isn't covered under warranty as the fault was the boiler/cylinder not the shower itself)

To take out the hassle of all this worry, my next car will have all the power I want out of the box....


Although, never say never.....

What BMW car would that be then? 

BMW are releasing a M Performance Power Kit for the 125i soonish which would equal no warranty problems.

Think it's expensive though.

Travelling abroad within the 3rd year of your warranty
 
Should your Volkswagen suffer a manufacturing defect covered by the 3rd year warranty while outside the United Kingdom, the repair must be carried out by a member of the Volkswagen Authorised Network in that country. The cost should be settled by you with the Repairer, and a claim made for reimbursement through your local member of the Volkswagen Authorised Network in the UK. In order for reimbursement to be possible the repair invoice must be returned to a UK Authorised Repairer within 14 calendar days of the invoice date.

Jeez, that would put a bit of a dampener on the holiday if your gearbox fell apart and you had to find the money to fix it before you could get home.

That'd be a creaky credit card whilst they reimbursed!

You can see VW customer services reimbursing 4k credit car bill  This has become really damging towards VW and there just isnt the consistancey across the dealerships ie some do some dont?  Why does one dealership do it and the others dosn't???

I don't even have a credit card, so I'd be fecked.

My AA breakdown cover will repatriate us and the car, so I guess that's what most people would have to do.

Agreed - and I wouldn't be holding my breath whilst they decided on what seems to be the flip of a coin 

All I can go by is the dealings with VW customer services who have been OK but again, depends on who you are lucky (or unlucky) enough to speak to.

Trouble is most manufacturers now will start off with a won't attitude and only if proved beyond question will they then give in
