To answer a few warranty related question, i was a warranty admin for VW/Audi for a number of years. The reason why some dealers are different to some others is pretty simple. When a warranty repair is carried out the warranty clerk processes that claim to VW to claim back labour costs and and parts used. Dealers get audited by VAG and we get fined a % of the last 12 months of claims labour and parts combined. We are allowed a 2% error rate which is crazy, so if a dealer was to get a 10% error rate and last years claims totalled 1m we would be fined 100,000 so any doubts anything could be rejected by VAG, we would not carry out repairs under warranty.
RE Internal upgrades, Fully agreed with Paul. I'm stage II with almost every bolt on you can get but on the stock turbo. If I were to go stage III, I would not just marry up a new turbo like a lot of guys have done, I'd strengthen everything from the inside out but since the car is a daily, I'm happy with 370WHP Dyno and 385 torque. Every mod you do will add to your TCO (total cost of ownership) oil changes become more frequent, spark plugs, CAI air filters are pricier when they disintegrated like mine did and you really should take 30% off the VW recommended maintenance for Haldex and oil changes if you track the car. Oh and upgraded brakes to take the power and larger brake rotors and pads are pricier. Stage II really is the limit for most of us if it's a DD and you have a finite amount of funds. At Stage III, just go buy an RS3 and enjoy your warranty with the same amount of power.
I just called my dealership about the oil change because I store my GTI for the winter months. VW warranty states that I must change the oil every 15000 km or 1 year whatever comes first.
Ive been so close to pulling the trigger on the OBD11 on your site but Ive been hesitant with what ive heard in the forums. Some users of late 2017 GTI sports have had issues getting some on the mods done. Should I go fo it?
Hey Paul. Great video! I wanted to ask if your able to make a video on the MK7.5 GTI's Virtual Cockpit and if we can install them in the MK7 GTI''s. I hope you see this comment and interests you to make a video as I really really want that Virtual Cockpit in my car! Thanks! :)
Paul - I have a question I would like to submit. 2017 Golf R owner here. I (along with other folks) have been receiving intermittent CEL's for cylinder misfires (P0300/P0301/2/3/4). Dealer is aware, VW is aware, and apparently there is a bug and a fix which is yet to be released by VW. Have you heard anything about this, and do you know if there is a timeline on this fix? Car is stock at the moment until these kinks get worked out. Right now all they can tell me is to "let the car idle for 1 minute before driving", yet the issue always pops up when I'm waiting for the car to idle until the revs drop below 1k.
Thanks for answering my question. (OBDelven mods). Clear enough for me. My main intention was to turn features on that I have not original bought with the vehicle. (not necessarily changing how stuff works...). And following what you said I took that the dealer will most likely not even noticed. I was a bit worried about it because I thought they might do something out of pure spite. Because when I order my new GTI I did some research and only choose enough extras to have all the Hardware in the car. Thinking that I dont want to hand out money (alot of it) for stuff that can then just be enable via software. And thats why I worried that maybe the dealer could lookup in some database what feature the car should have (using the VIN Nr) and if it doesn't match that they simply void the entire warranty no matter the reason I brought it in for. Anyways, thanks!
I have removed torque limiting and asr/esc off and after last oil change by dealer (they told me that they done some kind of inspection service as well) I noticed that all my modifications are reverted. I suspect it was done by dealer during inspection service. Can you comment it? Why modifications were reverted?
Didnt answer about changing the oil after running in the engine, unlike every other car and bike and boat i have owned this doesnt say anything anywhere about changing the oil after break in. I will do it, but just wondering why
Hey Paul so on your project MK7 at what intervals did you change your oil? Technically like you mentioned we can go 1 year/10K, but if you want to keep your car for the long run will doing it at 5K intervals be better. I just hit 5k checked my oil and it looks fine, but i'm debating if I should change now or just when I hit 10k. Mine is stock and I use it as a DD mostly highway miles.
I have a 2019 mark 3 Skoda all I want to do is Scandinavian DRL the back lights come on with the front drl turn off the stop and start can my question is will be all OBD11 help me as I understand VW under European dieselgate scandal have permanent turn functions off on 1.5 L engine so OBD11 that can't do anything didn't want to waste my money on OBD11 which has helped me
Hi Paul, I am about to do a mk7 steering wheel retrofit, however I dont use VCDS but OBD eleven. Is there a way to code the retrofitted steering wheel so it enables me to use multifunction (cruise control and paddle shifters)? Thanks
I was just wondering is there anyway I can get an oem car starter there's a few videos on UA-cam Nobody explains out there doing it they just seem to lock their Cars 3 times and the car will start I live in Canada and winter starting and I really really want a car starter
I'm confused by the new 2.0 TSI engine that is in the 2018 Passat and 2018 Tiguan. I see that it has 174hp. Is this the same engine as the 2.0T TSI 200hp engine with a different turbo? I was under the impression that the 1.8 TSI engine (170hp) was a smaller version of the 2.0TSI 200hp engine. Can you do an episode that straightens out the engines please?
When you post diy videos with coding obd11, why don’t you post the actual coding that can be used with the scan tool. Do you not know the actual coding or is it a different reason. I have a scan tool and wanted to do some of the coding like windows rolling up and down with the remote and want to code them manually. Thanks.

OBD eleven question at min 6:57
Obd11 won't void warranty cuz I've had it modified for over 2 years and the dealership never said anything.

What do you mean by error rate?
@@edak1 assuming a service that was provided to the customer that wasn't a necessity to the warranty repair.
Hey Paul, just want to say thanks for the ShopDap swag that came with my awesome t-shirt order. Cheers.
+Peter Maniak thanks for the order. I appreciate it very much.

The One-Click Apps, they're completely safe right? Nothing would go wrong? Cos I'm not coding myself, so there can't be a mistake?
What about turning the torque limiting off and the asc/ esc, cuz that's about the only thing I'd stress over

Great video 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Do VCDS , obdeleven mods write logs to ECU , so that they will be detectable by service centre ??
Hey Paul will you please do intake air temperature logging on OBD11? Trying to determine if I am experiencing heat soak.
Would the same be for a mk8 GTI will changing code on obd eleven void the warranty. I am just messing with the fog lights and windows up with the fob.
Could i make the transmission adaptation after replacement with this device?

OBDtwo maybe?
They cannot void entire cars warranty. They would void warranty on any part that was affected by what you changed.
keysersoze1664 obd11 is a tool for vw/audi that connects to the obd 2 port
That explains it!!. Many thanks Sniper6590

Can I do long coding with the OBDeleven or do I need the Pro version? For a MK7 GTI. Thanks
I have mk6 jetta 1.8t. how can i turn off traction control using obdeleven without the switch because I dont have it. Thanx
I was just wondering is there anyway I can get an oem car starter there's a few videos on UA-cam Nobody explains out there doing it they just seem to lock their Cars 3 times and the car will start I live in Canada and winter starting and I really really want a car starter

You mean like this one? ua-cam.com/video/ZPe9Yslq44s/v-deo.html
Anything to make your car better will void your warranty, they want your car to be the same as everybody else's..
