ReMap - Insurance & Warranty.

[rsreid2000]

I have owned my car for 9 months now and was thinking going to Stage 1.
How would this effect insurance and warranty as I have 2 years warranty left on my car.
Will the insurance go up by much and does a ReMap improve MPG.

best asking the warranty company about the remap as you mind find they might not cover some items...my insurance went up£100 when i told my insurance comany about the mao on my gttdi

As mentioned, speak to your dealer re: warranty, most are quite remap friendly these days, you will probably find the warranty will remain however if a component fails turbo etc, and it is proven as a result of the map you won't be covered.

As to insurance, I would recommend Adrian Flux, they insured my vRS with all mods declared, and stated that adding the dp and stage 2 software wouldn't add to the premium.  All this for less than my original insurance's renewal quote for the standard vehicle.

With regards to insurance, I'd wait until renewal time and combine the remap with the insurance at that time. Remaps are notorious for sending some insurers into a spin and some insurance companies simply will not insure you with a remapped car.

Adrain Flux (Greenlight is a subsidiary)

Both of the above are modification "friendly"

Haven't noticed any improvement in MPG with the remap.
I thought ESure were reasonable about the insurance: roughly 30% increase, in line with 30% increase in power.  While I don't think the risk has increased by 30%, this seems like a straightforward approach.  I'll shop around at renewal, but happy with this mid-policy.
