I've been seriously looking into buying a vRS recently and just have a few questions about what would affect the warranty?

Would changing the suspension?

Adding a strut brace?

Revo?

Jabba?

Alloys?

Cheers!!

Yes

Probably not

Yes

Yes

Possibly - but i'd err on the No side

In that order

I afraid in theory all would effect you warranty. :thumbdwn: But that doesn't have to stop you putting them on and taking them off again, if god forbid something goes wrong!

lol hmmmmmm :( the suspension and strut brace are things i definately would wanna change...say i was to change the suspension would it only affect part of the warrenty or the whole thing?

If you changed suspension and engine gave up, or your trim need fixed - i'm sure they couldn't complain.

However, if the bushes gave up or something associated with changing the suspension - they wouldn't be interested in my opinion.

What he said! :iagree:

hmmmm that wudnt b too bad....never heard of a bush going within 3 years...but then again knowing my luck..

As far as changing the suspension is concerned, I don't think your warranty will be concerned if you get everything done by the dealer. I got my springs fitted by the dealer and my warranty din't void.

The strut bar should not be a problem, it is only an add-on. If they make it a problem then they're just being anal.

Same goes for alloys if they're fitted by the dealer.

Remaps though...hmmm....don't think so..

ah ok, best way I suppose is just to go and ask them before I buy it...

thanks !

Hi This is correct.

Did warranty for 5 years for Skoda.

If you have Larger Alloys put on to your car , the only thing that would be invalidated would be things like wheel bearings.

All electrics etc. would not be affected.

If you have lower brace on then same applies.

If you find yourself a good dealer to work with , some tend to think the same as us in the sense that it is there to improve the car.

So if you have a problem then it was going to arrise whether you had the mod or not.

Skoda warranty is very good and they have a good set of lads and lasses there on hand to help if you do not get any joy from the dealers , but you can find some really helpfull dealers too.

I am going to stick my neck out and say that a majority of Briskoda members with modded cars haven't had problems with warranty claims.

Probably best to speak to your dealer on his attitude to Mods, without hinting too much that you are going to do it ( just asking )
