EMU 'Chipping'

[pilotc182]

Not sure if this is Electronic or Engine but lets start here.
Anyone any knowledge/advice/comments relating to engine management chipping, i.e. to improve power/economy etc.
Are there goods ones/bad ones ? Are they worth the money ? etc etc

Dozens of threads on this ... type 'chipping' or 'remap' into the search box!

In Australia it voids insurance (both the car warranty and the owners protection policy).

Warranty voided as well...

You keep saying this, but frankly these warranties are not worth the paper they are written on. The limited warranty Mercedes offer with the Brabus chip is probably the best you can get for a chipped car, the rest are next to useless.

I'll bet the wording says that any fault is covered if it is caused by a faulty chip or remap.
If your engine, gearbox or drivetrain gives up the ghost simply due to the increase in power, you will not be covered.

Don't play hide & seek with words.

Each to there own ...

You realy think we would undertake work on Brand new vehicles in exess of £100000 with no miles on the clock and not have the ability to back ourselfs up ...

I think our local dealers will dissagre you are clearly against this for some unknown reason ?

Regards

 

[rf065]

Well, you could post the wording on the warranty word for word and that would prove it.

Russ

 

[GCLTuning]

It will be like the warranty offered with coopers, crosland filters etc almost impossible to prove item warranted caused the fault.

Ie service car, then blows up 2 weeks later was it the filter, the oil, duff engine, unforseen circumstance etc etc.

You chip it and you must surely realise theres a risk element.

Yes you keep saying this, but you have also stated previously that your warranty is the same as the one provided by ChippedUK.

Read post number 29 in this forum, http://www.civinfo.com/forum/engines-transmission/10041-remapping-read-chippeduk-2.html

If your FULL WARRANTY is different and covers absolutely everything, then post the exact wording and let us read it for ourselves.

You are correct about stereotypes though, chip tuners never tell you about the downsides to tuning.

I think also that an important part of all warranties is who underwrites it? Not saying your remapping is bad - but just say you made a massive mistake and caused damage to a lot of cars - you would be forced to declare yourself bankrupt and therefore the warranty becomes void.

So the important part of all warranties is who underwrites it - and the actual wording needs to be read carefully. I daresay you are underwritten (well I would expect you to be) so that does leave the wording. If a fault happens who examines the car? Who determines what caused the damage? Can that be read from the ECU?
