So you treat your car more like a hooker than a wife?They aren't going to do anything worse to it that I don't already do to it.

a) Can the dealer be trusted to follow through long-term? I wouldn't trust them.Why go thorugh all this drama if the dealer will just accept handling anything VW won't cover which is what the OP is asking for?
a) TBD. Only time can tell.a) Can the dealer be trusted to follow through long-term? I wouldn't trust them.
b) I wouldn't buy a tuned car, period. But OP may not care about that.

At some point conspiracy thinking about warranties and whether they will be honored is not tine well spent. If they provide in-writing that they will cover it then what else can they do? OP clearly wants the tuned car. All of this concern is about a blown engine/trans that is so unlikely to occur with a stage 1 tune it probably falls within the normal un-tuned occurrence rate at this point in its use.a) Can the dealer be trusted to follow through long-term?

I loved Wagen Werks. Also convenient because when I still lived in Florida it was right up the street from where I worked at Cecil Field.There are several VW/Audi dealerships in my area, as well as independent shops that specialize in in Euro cars, including multiple APR dealers. I'm not worried about that.

a) TBD. Only time can tell.
b) Dealer-installed stage 1, plus TCU tune. Full maintenance records. No other mods. CPO for 2 years/24,000 miles. I’m totally comfortable with that. Literally any other GTI you buy could have had a piggyback tune and/or have been beat on while stock, and you’d never know it.
Had I known upfront? Maybe I would’ve avoided it. But now that I’ve driven it with that stage 1 power, I realize I would’ve just tuned it myself anyways .
It is O’Steen. Dude thanks!Dude, I was using mobile and didn't realize you were in Jax. If this is VW of OP, I wouldn't trust them even in writing. If it's O'Steens, they are VW community friendly and pretty reliable. Bush is hit of miss.
Hit me up if you need anything and let me know if you want to come autocross or do some track days.
I'm out in Fleming Island, have you joined the local FB group JaxDubs? If not, do so, it's where you'll find all the local VW stuff going on. Between JaxDubs and Old City Oil Drippers, there's VW stuff almost every weekend. I'm trying to get more VW's out at the local autocross and track day scene too.It is O’Steen. Dude thanks!
