Chipping VS Warranty

[benough]

Well all I wanted was an explanation on the numbers. Thanks.

So can the 3 year policy be extended for a higher premium?

I had dealings with Guy regarding a faulty RNS510. I cannot speak highly enough of the way it was handled.

I'm currently saving my pennies for a Haldex upgrade, and perhaps a chip for the R32, and I know who will be getting the business.

I assume u r reffering to your sat nav? may I ask how that was affected by a mod?

Believe me, the last thing we would ever want to do is install an untried, untested software in a car.

The same goes for any decent tuning company. Do you really think anyone could afford to put dodgey software into your car.
One bad experience for one customer and the word would sure get around pretty quick to stay away from them and then that would be the end of that company.
All the tunes are tried and tested for performance and reliability whether its a ChippedUK ST3, Bluefin, APR, GIAC, etc, etc.
You just have to weigh up the bang for buck and make your own decision to which brand satisfys you most.

No Problem - yes they can, for up to 5 years total, but after the first three it really skyrockets. We have a customer with the BIG hp kit on an RS6 and after the first 3 years we got a quote for the next two years - 950 Euro per year

I have not priced it up for a golf or similar, but it goes on a car by car basis (we have to apply to get the price) -

Im sold. .

geez, thank christ for that!

my brain hurts after reading this whole thread .

i'm glad you've finally found the answers you were looking for. now just get the damn chip and let us know what you think. i reckon your worries will be overtaken by excitement once its installed

Cheers,
Rhys

p.s. Guy, are you sure its undetectable?

With the software plus a performance panel air filter should bring the R to 200kw.

Anyone know the torque gain from the software ?

I just goes to show how honest and reliable Guy and HP tuning are. With all the threads and forums that I have read, which Guy has participated in, he has shown honesty and the willingness to bend backward to help out and give information to anyone that has a vehicle that his business could deal with. I only hope one day that I am fortunate enough to have a vehicle and the dollars for Guy at HP to weave his magic.

It wasn't affected by a mod
He bought the RNS510 off Guy & there was a manufacturing fault.

that graph causes more questions than it answers lol!

I thought torque remains constant after a certain rpm..

the stock torque (320) nm seem to be around the 5000 rpm range..

also cant see what just the software does without headers....

Thought you had made up your mind?
Best, rather than restarting the topic, contact Guy and talk to him.

the graph is only an indication - like having a serving suggestion on the cornflakes pack.
take away the header.intake line & reduce the combined line by that amount & your somewhere near the money.

Torque isn't a constant AFAIK - unless it is artificially limited??

Guy,
Any news on the APR software for the 1.4TSI?
I guess that's more to do with the MED 17 ECU that seemed to be the stumbling block.

If APR isn't working on it - anything from Oettinger who had it cracked on the earlier ECU?

Does the Oettinger flash work in much the same way as APR?
i.e. stalk switcher?
