This whole thing is a load of sh*t. No one knows wether its true or not because so much crap has been spun about it in the past.Either way, its not hard for them to spot one that's been heavily modified anyway. Injectors, exhausts, intercoolers etc.If you want to modify, just do it, don't worry about this crap. Warranty isn't worth the paper its written on anyway as most dealers do whatever it takes to get out of any form of warranty work, and if they do do it they end up f*cking it up anyway.

NOTHING will ever succeed the BA mk1. Both for look and headkicking performance and ease to modify.

I didnt see the vehicle and am just going by what was told to me, if true this would of been a first for them also. It was a engineer from the Ford Motor Company that came in to look at the motor vehicle and it was his laptop with the program that picked up the flash tune and it would of been the engineer that passed on the information to them about being able to detect the flash tunes. Besides no one in their right mind would take a heavily modified vehicle in expecting warranty on a detonated engine unless they took all the goodies off and put it back to stock including the tune trying to hide the fact, that's what I was going to do if required until I heard about what happened.Its a brand new Vehicle and my first in over 10 years due to myself driving a company car all this time,and at this stage cant come to terms with the possibility of loosing all that money.Anyway, from the responses to this post I have come to the conclusion that there is a lot of truth in what they told me and they were not just pulling my leg and sadly at this stage I will give the tune a miss. Thank you everyone, you have been of great help, cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!
