RE: Bottom End Performance Mods

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

VW doesn't send a guy out to look at the car.  They trust the dealers 
judgment.  The dealer would never pick up the tab.  They would not mention 
it to VW and poof they have an approval for a replacment.  They get paid 
and the customer is happy.  They don't go out of there way to find mods.

Bryan  GOT IT FROM TWO VW DEALERS HERE IN DENVER  BITE ME!

But under the law, wouldn't they have to prove that the chip caused
the problem?  Or, legally speaking, is the mere presence of a chip
enough.
