What is the most people have done without voiding warranty on major engine components? I have read my warranty back to front and it is obviously not black and white. I decided to call the dealership and they have said as long as the modification does not result in the failure of other components (I.e loss of compression due to dirt through engine whilst replacing air induction). But it states in the booklet that anything that changes the cars original specifications may void warranty. To me the key is to ask dealer and warranty organization and seek clarification. I am going to replace fg snorkel and airbox with xr8 gear and get a k&n panel filter (that is as much as I dare do and I have sought advice). What I want to know is what more have others done on warranty without voiding?Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should a component fail as a result of your modification they can deny the claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However as I've read, I'd need to get a tune with exahust mods, which will impart void warranty. Hence I've limited it to just filter and intake mods.Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a rather expensive mod when weighed against the gain, if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That approach won't work. It's the first thing they check. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
