Engineered Performance for Audi, VW, Porsche & Skoda

These FAQ's about chipping will help to clarify some of the myths and misconceptions about chipping your Audi/VW/Porsche car. These are the most commonly asked questions by people wishing to chip their car:
 

Will it void my warranty?

Yes and No: according to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (US): "No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of such product on the consumers using, in connection with such product, any article or service (other than article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade or corporate name..." (15 U.S.C. 2302©)
 
In Australia, similar laws apply.

So basically, if you have a warranty claim, the dealer (or warrantor) must prove that the part that you modified directly caused the failure. For example, if you chipped your car and the exhaust falls off, then the car is still under warranty.
 
Of all of the chips that APR Australia / Harding Performance has sold, as well as pretty much all other chip manufacturers, there just really aren't any problems in chipping the car. Your Audi/VW was so well engineered, that you really are not stressing anything that was not designed to take the changes that a chip produces. Please contact your local APR Australia dealer for further details.
 

Why should I choose APR Australia / Harding Performance?

Because we are the best at what we do. There are several reasons to GO APR Australia / Harding Performance over other companies. First, we are the only Audi/VW/Porsche aftermarket design firm in the US with engineers on staff (we have ten of them). Second, we only tune Audis and Volkswagens (not Volvos, BMW's, Hondas, etc...). Third, we have completely reverse-engineered the entire Bosch Motronic system. We can safely say that we probably know the system better than anyone in the world (except Bosch, of course). Finally, we always strive to provide the best customer service and support possible.
