I also have this dilema with respect to voiding a warranty upon adding mods.  I asked all my local dealerships (including the one i bought the car off) and they all said no chance - will void warranty.  One dealership also added "we have enough problems with the gti as it is, let alone remaps" :shocked:

Which dealerships out there allow these kind of mods without voiding the warranty?

.... :shocked: Didn't you read in this thread what I bothered to post about direct cause!!? :rolleyes:

Search for a thread where SteveP mentions that his VW dealer supplied his car a Richter remap.

I have found that if you want anything doing under warranty with no questions asked, just say that you have been discussing the problem on this forum first.

Which stealer do you use - Cookes or KL VW?

KL, but stealer is the right choice of words there, but they are friendly and they have always looked after me.


Loyal owner since 2005, done with remapping, I drive a Golf not a Veyron. (hypocrite)

Ahh, they may be friendly, but they are fairly incompetent.  And as for Steve "who ate all the pies"  :wink: - well don't get me started on him.

They seriously went down hill after Brundle sold them.  Go round the corner to the Audi garage, and have a chat with the very nice Fiona though!  :wink:  :drool:
