    it is illegal in australia for them to say that!! your manual even states this, it does in my R5 anyway. basically the mod has to be shown to have caused the failure on the item you are claiming warranty on...the manual states this. your 'warranty' on the car is not void.

    the berrima diesel chip seems to be one of the more intelligent chips on the market, in that it does more than just add fuel across the rev range but also alters "when" the fuel is added (diesel timing). this is very important as simply adding fuel to get performance may also mean you are generating elevated combustion and exhaust temperatures..

    Hi GJD

    Pardon me for asking...what is the price range of the chip for the Passat. I have the 125kw tdi which I am impressed with and I would sooooo love to buy it a gift like this!

    Cheers

    Scott

    The DP chip is the only way to go.

    Are you sure that driver of the ford was also in the race?

    If you engine would have mechanical failure I don't think that would be difficult for VW to prove that extra power caused it.

    I used to have a Polo TDi that came with the 96kW engine as standard. I chipped it with the REVO Technik Chip and the gains were the best I've seen.

    Standard KW @ Fly 101Kw (diesels always are higher than what stock should be)
    REVO KW @ Fly 131Kw (15 minutes later)

    Never had a moments hassle with it and when we compared torque, power and performance with 2 other chip types (Dastek & somethingelse) the revo always came out on top.

    The difference is to see how many variables the chip with alter to get the best performance. The REVO modifies 55 settings on the diesel engines where as some of the chips out there only alter boost and nothing else. Be careful with the chips that make only boost modifications as they will break your car in time.
    I'm not Bossy!!! I just know whats best for everyone.
