This is one of the most commonly asked questions in our industry. The short answer is yes it will; however under consumer affairs regulations we need a manufacturer to prove that the modification has indeed caused the malfunction. I.e. if you have tuned you vehicle and your sunroof stops working, the car still has warranty. Some manufacturers (in particular BMW, AUDI, VW) now have the ability to check for tunes during warranty procedures and system diagnosis. This function is unfortunately completely automated and the service staff has no control over the final decision. If the software detects that the software has been tampered with it will automatically throw a Black Flag against your VIN. We can always flash back-to-stock if any service or warranty work is required on your vehicle. This does not guarantee anything but is the only solution any tuning provider can offer.
Simple answer is no, in fact quite the opposite! We tend to see improved fuel economy in vehicles that have been tuned. How you ask? Basically, the increase in torque output means you do not need more throttle than originally required to reach a determined speed. For example, to get to 60km/h in 100m may have required 50% throttle with your factory tune; however, after the tune, you would only require 30-40% throttle to achieve the same result.
The list below offers guidelines on the preparations needed before tuning your vehicle. Following these steps will help save both time and money. Ensuring that your car is properly equipped and upgraded is vital for achieving optimal results, with the most essential requirements listed as follows: – no leaks – new spark plugs – fresh fuel with desired octane – fresh oil (as recommended by builder/spec) – ALL electrical wiring, vacuum lines, sensors, etc. (O2, COIL PACKS, MAP/MAF, IAT, CLT, CAM/CRANK) are in working order If you're encountering issues with your vehicle, we have the capability to analyze specific data within the tune that can provide insights into the underlying problems and their causes. If this is indeed the situation, we will have a conversation about the necessary steps to address and resolve the issue.
