insurance and chipping

[Phil mcavity]

have spoke to them , they would want £47.58 just to run to the end of my years premium, but couldnt quote me on a rough yearly figure because the minimum they can quote is 3-4 weeks b4 renewel  . so does that mean an increase of £400 for a year!  :embarassed:

Thats crap!! My insurance company didn't alter a thing, just asked for a copy of the company details - just gave them superchips website link to Ed30 graph etc..

[Phil mcavity]

whos your insurance company with Russ?

[Russ.C]

NFU Mutual, although it is part of my business policy so it may be different to a normal fully-comp policy, not sure really...

and how can an insurance company check for any ecu remapping? do they rolling road the car after a claim??

most don't bother but i believe the ECU shows the number of times its been flashed (ooo er) so if that doesn't tie in with the dealers records then bye bye insurance

Yebut - unless the insurer actually gets the car plugged into the VAS5051/5052, and then gets a link up with Wolfsburg, NO insurance company will be able to detect the flash count. 

Secondly, if you do tell porkies on your insurance renewal, providing the insurance company accepts your details, ie, they take your money, and give you a valid Certificate of Insurance - even if they subsquently find out about your porkies, they still have a legal obligation to provide Third Party cover.  Therefore, you won't get done for no insurance, but you may loose any fully comp cover.
