    You don't lose your warranty if you do a Stasis ecu flash. I had mine done at the dealership.

    This applies to the US only as far as I know. No other countries.

    yeah, there is no UK equivalent of the US stasis/audi partnership.

    I have a TT kit, and they don't void the warranty when I take it in. They won't exactly do warranty work with respect to the engine or anything (and I wouldn't want them to,) but they'll do other stuff like my AC and other problems unrelated. They leave the warranty in tact I guess in case I switch back. No matter, less than a year left on it.

    Re: ecu without losing warranty

    Ya know, this doesn't apply in Europe or other countries, but THE LAW in the US states that a Dealer cannot void your warranty because of modifications. The only thing they can do is to refuse to fix anything that is damaged as a result of a modification, or to work on the non-factory part itself. I have gone round with dealers on this many times, and they lost! They think that most people don't know the laws regarding this issue, and try to intimidate them. Stand up for your consumer rights.

    Canadian customers enjoy the same Audi/Stasis relationship.

    Re: ecu without losing warranty

    well lucky us customers !! .. the dealer is really bad in dubai , u cant even take your car on an open track day just for fun ( without abusing it ) , still ull lose your warranty ! thats soo gay
    and you cant speed on the streets because they have 1000 speed cameras, as far as i know in Europe they should make the speed camera showen to drivers or something like that , but its not the case here .... they have speed cameras in police cars + normal cars who are parked in the side of the road and 100 other portable speed cameras that are hidden in the bushes or behind a traffic sign, places you cant even think off ull find a speed camera in dubai , we have a road called emirates rd, every 1.5km we have a speed camera !! and the fines are really crazzy, you get your car impounded for 1 month if you get caught +60km over the speed limit...

    anything i can do regarding using my car on a track ?
    because my dealer is not allowing me without loosing my warranty, soo is there any AUDI rule that says if you dont abuse the car you will still have the warranty on ?
    or who can i contact to talk to my dealer ?
