    Mods and dealer question

    I know that a mod can't void a warranty unless the dealer can prove that the mod was the cause of a problem, but do dealers have a tendency to take note of what mods that you have on when working on a problem that has nothing to do with them? For instance, if the dealer notices that you have a K&N filter instead of an air box and you later come back to take care of a problem that was indeed by some chance caused by the K&N but put the air box back so that they would fix the problem, could they bring up the fact that you did have the K&N and refuse to fix the part?

    You are trippin! Just go to see either Hector or Paul at Rector in Burlingame and all will be good. They will even install mods for you at this dealer. He gave me a quote to complete my stage 3 and do the ko4 turbo swap, but the price was too high. Good luck!

    Issue? send me an email

    When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.

    service can say anything, but if you find that they are giving you bad service call Audi of America. Otherwise, you need to talk with them about what voids your warranty. Intake, exhaust, and suspension doesn't void a thing.
