or do you just have to pay for parts relating to the chip(assuming something breaks).

Default If the chip would directly cause a problem with some component

they would make you pay for the repair of that component. Your warrantee or maintenance cannot be taken away.

Default maintenance shouldn't have anything to do with chip

only warranty work, the maintenance side of the work is a obligation they would have to uphold.

they may be wary of running diagnostics on a car with a chipped ecu however so that part of the service schedule might be affected.

Default I haven't heard one way or the other about Audi of Alexandria....(more)

But i know a guy with a chip who goes to Audi in Rockville and apparently doesn't have any problems.

personally, i'm waiting till warranty is up to do much of anything related to performance mods

Default Re: If the chip would directly cause a problem with some component

To expand on this. If you blow your engine, there may be problems, but if your stock radio stops working, they won't hassle you for having a chip. They have to prove (or imply) that what you did caused the malfunction.

...From what I heard...
