I hope they will do it under warrenty but you just never know with it been modified, anyway the service department was closed so will get on to them on monday.
the gt2871r was just a thought really if the worst comes to the worst and Seat refuse to do it under warrenty i might aswell just go bigger.
They wont get away with not doing it under warrenty easily though.
If they dont do it under warranty then I think you should go bigger, bu tbh hey wont know you have it mapped till they drive it, and they cant rag it till they have fixed it lol.
They might ask questions with the milly fitted, but cant prove anything, unless ofcourse they do send off the ecu.
stopped as a precaution you could drive but soon as you went into turbo range it wasnt nice so rather then cause more damage than neccesary just got it towed.
the milly might be a problem and they possibly might notice the huge itg intake and the little revo stickers aswell. this paticular dealer does put revo and bluefin on cars though so there is a chance they'll turn a blind eye to them, they did change my rear shocks when i had sportlines fitted aswell.

Does anybody know if there is any incentive for dealers to not do warranty work? Its not like they dont get paid for it.
Told my dealer im gonna get a CAI as the engine cover has a design flaw which they agreed with.
Much to AMD's dismay thats one of the reason why I dont put stickers on my car as it sort of advertises what you have had done to the car.

warranty work has got nothing to do with the dealer other than the fact they do the work. the manufacturer (seat in our case) approve the claim on an individual basis, based on wether they think they themselves will be able to claim off the part supplier (borg-warner in this case).
to be honest, in my opinion, i think if robs claim is approved he should consider himself well lucky. for robs sake i hope im proved wrong.
everything is covered unless the part has been changed so for example my abs sensors went down so my dealers said they fix it under warranty but if my springs went and they were swapped to eibachs its not covered so aslong as the turbo is still the same then the turbo is covered hope that makes sense ...I don't think there be a problem at all. best of luck to rob.
Surely it wouldn't be the case if they find out the car is running non-standard. Modifying any of the engines components is in turn asking the Turbo to do more work than the standard settings.
Let's hope in Rob's case the garage are o.k. and turn a blind eye to the mods. Its all business to them as Seat will be forking out for the repairs and not the dealer.
i doubt very much that rob is running standard boost, therefore non standard.
sorry if i appear pessimistic rob, but in cases like these i usually take the 'my glass is half empty approach'.
I can't agree with you there.
If your suspension bushes were to fail and they see you have Eibachs they could say with confidence that the springs have caused extra stress on the bushes. They would probably then wave goodbye to you.
The mods on the OP's car will easy make the warrenty on the turbo void IMO. If the OP gets a new turbo for free he should go and buy a lottery ticket straight after whilst his luck lasts.
Poor hourly rate paid for warranty work, on a very close time allowance (ideal world scenario). If the part is replaced & wasn't the cause of the fault, the dealer won't get refunded for the part, nor the labour.
LOL @ AMD's dismay... not everyone wants a shopping list.
I think that dealers can be tolerant of mods, but since the scope for costing them a fortune is so great when it comes to engine work they'll sooner decline the obviously modified part
Hopefully it'll all be 'OK' - but if not, parts are out there & cheap enough - just get it dragged somewhere else other than SEAT
yea they will they will send it off on a seperate job card saying its faulty even if it wasnt that way they get there labour money and the money for the part.
although having said what i have its normally the same old things that go wrong so if a part that gets sent to them is an unusual part that has only gone wrong on say 1 in 300 cars for example then i think thats when they look into the faulty part for example the ops turbo.
anyway hope it is just a hose that has popped off.
Ok so update on this, the dealer wants £1600 in total to replace the turbo and get the car back on the road, theirs no chance of warrenty which i suspected.
Thought it would be worse tbh but he did say the turbo would cost £1115 inc vat on its own but surely i can get one cheaper than that if anyones got a link.
Oh and thanks for everyones advice on the matter

Think i might get the s3 ic fitted while im at it, might save my new turbo from detonation.
