I really want a tuning box,but have been put of by suggestions that if there was for example a engine failure, vw can read the data from the ecu & question why the torque was so high.

Ignorance is bliss mate; what's a tuning box??? Surely if the torque is too high this must be what's caused the problem??? :smiley:

A tuning box is like remapping the ecu for more bhp but you can unplug it very quickly,like maybe when it due a service.

Lol oh dear gaz I should have put speech marks on that. I was suggesting what you would say if they had the logs Off your car when something went wrong!

My bad, I'll probably put one on anyway,as having a mapped mk5 gti dsg for 6 years without any issues.

And that's the other thing, this is my third vag car in 6 years and not once have I gone in for any real warranty work, and they have both been messed about with and this one will be no different
