Tuning with Warranty Protection

[cstb_87]

I know this is a stupid question but i'm new to the VW scene so i'm not completely aware of all the tuners around Melbourne.

Are there any tuners that protect the new car warranty with power upgrades. I know MRT do but they don't touch 2011 Polo GTi .

Looking to do a ECU Tune and Exhaust. Probably Strut and sway bars to.

Any help would be great as i'm already getting hit with the tuning bug but i would prefer not to void my warranty.

Tigersoft offer Viezu in Melbourne

Viezu provide insurance.

any tune will void the warranty,but APR as far as I know is undetectable as it does not record how many times the ECU is flashed, so the dealer cannot prove it. hence why i paid more to have it done to my GTI.

however, a broken window switch has nothing to do with the tune so you must put it into perspective.

As has been mentioned elsewhere all tunes incl APR are detectable.

Really? That goes against everything APR says........ has the VW dealer actually detected a tune even after it has been flashed back to stock via the cruise control stalk?

I swear MRT protected the new car warranty with their products.

But I did think that it would be detectable regardless of the tuner. Can't imagine anyone having the ability to hide that.

Pretty sure with Bluefin you can return it to stock and it is undetectable.

My dealer claims to have detected that my ECU had been flashed/modified/altered, but that did not affect the warranty claim that I made which amounted to several thousands of $$ (read mechatronics)

No, incorrect.

Log files hold the info. Has been discussed before

Finance Analyst, the first 6 words in your original post are not necessarily true...... as Candyman has said this has been widely discussed before.....
The dealer has to "prove" any warrantable claim was caused by the tune.
There are some good links on this site about this.
