Bryan. Trust me if you launch a transmission or drop a rod bearing and it
can be traced to a performance modification you will be responsible. There
is no way the dealer will be that nice when VW refuses to pay a claim. I
just got done replacing a motor in a 1998 GTI with 6,000 miles because of a
warped crankshaft. This motor was $7,200 and I was paid 35 hours labor to
replace it. This car was modified and my OTS went over the car looking for
a performance chip. If he found it bingo no coverage. No chip VW paid the
repairs.  No chip was found.
