You could not honestely expect Ford not to do R&D to detect it. It will now be up to CAPA to step up to the plate.Having said all that, some dealers will go looking and others wont, remeber they want there service departments to work and if that happens to be warranty work then so be it. Some dealers are sh*te and others are ok. Unfortunatly we cannot say on this forum go to such and such they are ok, or Ford Australia will come down on them. There is also the motto you paly you pay.Personally my opinion is that some mild mods should not void warranty. Unfortunately the edit is so good at doing what it does, that an edit and bit more flow throught the intake and exhaust and they power increases are not mild in anyones books.I would say that up until this point we have had it pretty good, and the ball is in CAPAs court, and ours.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a BA though, and assuming it doesn't have the anti-edit feature, it prolly wont flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though every tech sales rep and coffe lady that work or have worked for Ford in the last four years know about the edit. It was a Ford tech that said mat if you want more power get an edit.Even though Powerchip, advertise in every Motor mag. I dont rekon to many people would know about them.Before I got my car chipped I aked a Ford tech mate if I do this will it exceed the manufactures safety margins, the answer was mate a mild increase in power the engine will deal with no probs. That has been proved on this forum. Will it void warranty, the answer was yes. But unless your car looks like it has many mods, and it drives like a bat out of hell, most Ford dealerships are not going to waste their time looking for somthing. Add to that they want your work. Not all dealers are like this, and it is a lottery no doubt.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
