No. A remap or any aftermarket work cannot and will not automatically invalidate a vehicle's warranty. It's a misconception that it will, and sometimes those that know are not always clear about this fact. It's very common for fleet users and companies to fit a speed limiter to their vehicles. Some will use us to do this work, while other drivers may want to fit a tow-bar or upgraded sound system to their vehicle. These are common fitments, but they are aftermarket changes just like a remap - your tow-bar does not invalidate your warranty so why should your remap?
However, manufacturers of course have the right to investigate and possibly reject a warranty claim if the failure is directly related to and caused by the tuning (remember not all tuning is the same quality as Viezu). Therefore, for your total peace of mind, all Viezu tuning work is insured and guaranteed. If our tuning causes a failure inside or outside of the warranty period you are covered. It's exactly why you should chose Viezu for all your tuning work - only Viezu dealers have this depth of cover and your dealer will be happy to show you and talk through the Viezu tuning insurance policy. We say this with confidence because of the rigorous testing regime all ECU remapping and vehicle tuning files go through, and we even give a life-time software guarantee too for reinstallation.
Should you lose your tuning files due to dealer actions or parts failure your dealer will be happy to re-install the map on to your car free of charge for as long as you own the vehicle.
Yes, owners are allowed by law to modify their vehicles, but it should be done responsibly and in accordance with local legislation. The EU Directive 2010/48/EU does stipulate that vehicle owners should not modify or alter their vehicle in a way that the emissions are increased. Viezu treats tuning very seriously - in these times of environmental scrutiny we believe the tuning industry should be both responsible and transparent in the work being carried out.
At Viezu, not only do we measure and test our tuning to Euro 6 MOT Emission Standards, we exceed these standards testing for both Nox and Sox too. Our tuning has been independently tested on a number of occasions, and found to have no negative impact on emissions. We have also opened our testing and development work and been inspected by the DoT (Department of Transport). We are proud of our work and the research and development we carry out.
Viezu is able to offer test and measurement services, please contact us to find out more.
Whilst the upgrade in many cases is undetectable, the responsible and correct answer to this question has to be "yes", your insurance company should be notified of any modifications including tuning. However, the good news is many insurance companies do not penalise you for upgrades of this nature, particularly if you're tuning for increased fuel economy.
Adrian Flux is one such company.
No, in fact quite the opposite. Even on a performance tune, if you continue to drive the car in the same way as you did before the upgrade, your fuel consumption will probably improve. Of course if you have a track day motorsport tuning map installed on the car, and you are driving the car under the conditions in which full on motorsport tuning is intended, you're likely to find a slightly reduced MPG figure. In just about all other cases though Viezu tuning will improve your vehicle's fuel economy.
Economy tuning can have a dramatic effect on fuel consumption with considerable improvements being achieved along with huge money savings on fuel. All Viezu fuel economy tuning has a money back promise - if you are not delighted you don't pay for the tuning.
No, not at all if you use a Viezu dealer. Sadly some engines can be over tuned, 'stressing' the engine, transmission, cooling systems, brakes etc, and reducing the life span and reliability of the car. This is why it's so important to choose the best. Choose Viezu - the research and development we carry out ensures all our tuning is of the very highest standard possible.
We take great care to ensure that all of our modifications have no detrimental effect on your car. In a lot of cases the economy tune actually helps to extend the life of components, such as the clutch and gearbox, by making the delivery of the power far less aggressive and smoothing the overall drive of the vehicle.

There are a number of basic power upgrades available in a plug and play format or are downloadable from the web. Whilst some of these items can offer slight increases in power, they operate by merely adjusting a specified signal within the ECU by a set tolerance. It's impossible to compare these inferior upgrades with a full rolling road re-map which measures and adjusts hundreds of signals and data files within the ECU.
We advise that these generic files and unsupported devices for sale on the web should be avoided at all cost. We've seen too many customers come to us after a bad experience - and there was no one else to turn to either. We're always happy to advise on your tuning needs.
