RE: Bottom End Performance Mods

[Bryan Billings <vwxcross@worldnet.att.net>]

Once you have a contract signed if they have not changed the wording they 
cant do squat.  My dealer here is quite ok with the mods.  In fact they say 
that they would have to prove that the particular mod caused the problem. 
 If it did well then yes but who the hell keeps cars past the powertrain 
warranty anyway?  You have to keep upgrading if you plan on keeping any 
kind of value.  That goes for any car.

Put all the mods you want turbo,super charger etc. But remember do it after
you go over the limits of the powertrain warranty. If you should do any
internal engine mods or add-ons turbo,super charger and should develop
engine or transmission problems while still under the powertrain warranty
VW will not cover any repairs.  VW is in the process of changing the
wording of the warranty. They know all about the performance mods and will
start taking a strong stand in denying warranty coverage because of them.
I was speaking to my VW OTS and he told me that VW is in the process of
adding a new field in their computer to allow all VW dealers to make a
notation of modified cars. The reason behind this is to alert all dealers
in case the customer is a jumper. Jumps from one VW dealer to another
seeking coverage.
