ED. 30 307BHP Bluefin article.

Im guessing this would affect the warranty/guarantee?

probably yes. Like everything else: bluefin, Eibach pro-kit....

Woops  :embarassed:

exactly my face when I think about it.  :embarassed: Want to have Eibach pro-kit as well, but don't really want to lose 4 years of warranty on my car. Will ask my dealer what he thinks. He is also one of ABT distributors, but I do not want ABT springs installed, they lower by 20-35mm.

With any parts that do not alter the performance of your car significantly (eg Bluefin) you can go to your local stealer and (for a price) they can fit it and retain the warrantee. What is or isn't on their list may differ from stealer to stealer

I might see if the local stealer will fit this new forge dv when I get it then! thanks for the info Hurdy, didn't know it was an option!

Basically, your dealer can fit aftermarket parts at a price, which allows you to keep the VW warranty intact. There will be some parts which will still invalidate your warranty even if you have an official VW dealer fit them - you just need to ask them...How much to fit...&....Will it invalidate my warranty even if you fit it.

Not quite correct.  Any work carried out by a VW stealer carries only a 12 month warranty on the workmanship.  If they fit genuine VW parts, then the parts themselves are covered by the VW Pan-European 2 year warranty.  If they fit aftermarket parts, then it is up to the manufacturer of those parts to warranty them (if they want to).  A similar situation relates to the factory fit vs dealer fit cruise control - factory fit, and you get the full UK three year warranty, and dealer fit and it is 2 years on the parts, one year on the labour.

I wanted to say that they change more than boost, and their service, IF something happens ot your bluefin, is great. I've seen a couple posts where people had problems with bluefin, and the company solved them, and they actually wanted to solve them!

They may claim to alter more than boost, but in reality, they are not technically competent enough with the MED9 to alter anything but boost.  Their dyno graphs, and their "customer feedback" and reviews merely confirm that.

and their service, IF something happens ot your bluefin, is great. I've seen a couple posts where people had problems with bluefin, and the company solved them, and they actually wanted to solve them!

That is exactly my point.  They are pushing an underdeveloped product - complete with added problems.  If you think that someone offers you good service by attempting to rectify a shoddy product . . . . why did they not get the product spot on from the start.  It just about sums up the attitude of SuperChips - get the stuff out at as cheaply as possible, with the absolute minimum amount of development, and then if anyone does happen to complain, try to sort it out afterwards.


Revo or Oettinger or MTM don't have such problems, nor does Milltek!  They all make sure their products are fully developed and tested BEFORE releasing them to the paying public.  Revo, Oettinger and MTM also don't have to divert their time and effort on Chavmobiles like the Focus, or truely hideous turds like Kias - they just specialise in VAG products, and their reputations speak for themselves.  They don't have to come out with deceitful adverts either, like SuperChips!
