You know what guys, I'm going to take my car and crash it into a tree by the highway. Then, I'm going to sue the state of California for putting a tree there! It ain't my fault, it was the state's fault for having a damn tree there!

Sound ridiculous 335rocket? Honestly it's kinda like how you're sounding like to some of us, which is why you don't have our support.

whatever

You bought something for your car and you knew there were risks involved. Now that all hell has broken loose and your car is screwed you want someone else to pay for it. It doesnt work like that. Take responsiblity for your actions and learn from it.

APR didn't break ANYTHING. If they had bad code, a lot of other people would have had problems. Sounds like you got a lemon or you don't know how to drive. Regardless, I can't believe you would modify such a problematic vehicle. You were asking for it and got exactly what you deserved.

Wonder if the same "pay to play" mentality would hold true for the proceed guys. If say the company that makes the proceed put just a little to much extra power and later on shows some issues.

Shit same forum members who bitch about rattles and what not would imagine there would be major fits for that.

I love this thread btw, just curious, how old is the OP?

There maybe nothing I can do about it but just bite the bullet and pay for the damages, but Im 95% sure thats what caused the problem and to say its not APRs fault is obserd because it is. Hey I know its also my fault for chipping it knowing the risks I dont deny that, but the fact of the matter is that their product (most likely, not saying definately) ruined my car. End of story. btw to //Matt, that was a real d*ckhead response.

You have not offered any information to back up your 95% positive assertion the chipped caused the problem. It could simple be you got a lemon and now you have the issue that dealer on behalf of Audi is denying and warranty claim base on the modification you made.

It is very likely the chip has nothing to do with the problems you are having and if you did not have it the dealer would not have a leg to stand on. You only course of action it to challenge the dealer to prove the chip was at fault. if they can not offer had evidence they they have to fix it. But it requires you to do the work.

You fucked up your own car, not them.

Additionally, you have no case with either Audi or APR, you chose to modify your car and you paid the price for operating outside of the design limits of the car. You'll just have to pay to get it fixed.

[335rocket]

yeah, I kind of realize that now. Im just going to have to bite the bullet and pay the price. Ill be able to settle on a reasonable figure with Audi, pay it, and it will be over. Than get rid of the Audi and enjoy the 335

Have they shown you what cause the problem. it sounds like your car had lots of damage, and I personally would like to hear their reasoning behind how the mod caused all this damage. Something like, too much boosted force the car to red line thus causing everything to come apart.

Your not the only person who dealership have tried to get out of warranty repairs on the simply claim the mod did it. I would like to hear their explanation, and if you settle with them make sure then write all down and justify how the chip caused the failure of each and every part they have to replace.

[335rocket]

no, all they said was that everything was caused by the chip. Im going to sit down with the manager at Audi and demand proof that this is what caused the problem before I pay anything. If theres no way of getting out of paying, Ill settle at a lower price which Im sure I can. But like many others said, I chose to mod this car knowing the ramifications and its going to be hard to get out of it. But your right, I want a detailed explanation on what exactly went wrong. Im sure the chip had a big roll in the damages but I really dont know. All I know is that its been anextremely aggrevating experience

[keysopendoors]

My B6 Audi A4 fell apart before I even got the chance to chip it! I only owned the car for 11 months, and traded it in for the down payment on my 328i. My car was NEVER chipped (purchased CPO), but it was in the shop at least once a month, usually for engine related issues.

It may not have been the chip itself that caused the problem, but if your engine had problems before you chipped it, the higher boost levels and operating temperatures could have exacerbated the problems. The clutch wearing prematurely may have been due to aggressive driving...were you doing clutch drops? was the car ever tracked? or just normal "spirited" driving?

also was your A4 quattro or front track?
