Default So who's ever run into problems at the dealer and had them point to chipping

as the cause. Or just had them notice and get pissed?

Default I know of only two. BHVRDR's friend and a guy recently on Audizine.

BHVRDR's friend was something regarding transmission work IIRC, and the guy on Audizine took his car in with a test pipe and other stuff and AoA voided his warranty. Search for "warranty voided" on Audizine B7 forum for all the info...

they dont void the whole warranty IIRC. if the AC goes.. hard to blame on chipping.

Default True, but the guy on Audizine (admittedly not too smart) really got the shaft quick.

I didn't finish out the saga because I couldn't stand it anymore.

Default yeah, I think that guy on Audizine had much more than just a chip mod when he brought it in

It gives the service guys too many excuses to deny warranty if you bring it in with so many obvious mods to the powertrain/exhaust.
