Booked new Golf GTi this week ............. got huge discount mah! smile_big.gif

Will anyone please kindly advise whether doing APR Stage I or both I & II will void the 5 years warranty? If not, can anyone be so kind as to tell me where can this done in KL? Some SA at VW said won't void the warranty; other said will. Who to belief? smile_dead.gif

Just noted, other tuning avail are ABT, REVO & Dimsport. Any tuning expert can kindly give your expert opinion on these please?

Thank you.

If you flash your ECU in an engine upgrade, officially it WILL void warranty. The only exception is FA Wagan's ABT tuning which requires you to pay some extra sum and the warranty is transferred from VW to ABT.

But in this world, if you know contacts in the SC, you might get away with maintaining your warranty.
