Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Most likely yes, it cannot be flashed direct via the ODBII port.
Requires a 'bench' flash.
So you need to actually visit a tuner, you can't order something like a Bluefin (as far as I am aware at this time.)2011 Skoda Octavia vRS TDI DSG wagon|Revo Stage 1|Race Blue|Leather|Dynamic Xenons w 6000K|9w7 BT|THA475 Amp+active sub|Whiteline ALK|RVC|

Can't do it with a hand held. We have done them with the Oettinger upgrade, no problems whatsoever.Comment

Yep, just to chime in, I can confirm that these are a bench tune only. ECU needs to be removed, disassembled, tune flashed directly to the PCB, reassembled and refit to the car. It's not hard to do (for someone that knows what they are doing), and the gains on these things make it well worthwhile.sigpic

Would the bench tune void warranty?

Like all modifications to a vehicle (including wheels, window tint, bluetooth kits, towbars etc) it could possible effect part of your manufacturers warranty. Bench tuning is no different to port flashing in regards to warranty, both times you are modifying the code inside your ECU.
VW may be able to detect at service - yes. Cost - send an email to info@oettinger.com.au with your details. Warranty? Like all registered & insured tuners on these forums, they will cover some form of warranty. Oettinger have their own:
