Hey everyone, just wandering (as usual)...
What voids warranty? Will a full exhaust, intake (ss inductions,G&D,etc), and simple mods like that void it?  used: |

with my warranty anything added to the vehicle voided it.. so two months later when i went back with my first ford falcon that i had fitted body kit tinting intake exhuast rims and a few other things the warranty was void even though i wanted a door actuator replaced.
my advice is the only used warranty thats worth the paper its written on is a big dealer like holden certified used cars. |

If you have a copy of the warranty - read it. It's the only thing that will tell you for sure. A dealer is always going to try and deny a warranty claim in the first place, so they will try to pin any mods you have done as the cause of the issue you need fixed. Most warranties are clear and say something like "any modification that leads to part failure will void warranty on that part", or words to that effect.
So if you put an exhaust on, and your brakes fail, then you should have the brakes fixed under warranty. If you put an exhaust on and it melts the rear bar, then you have bugger all chance of getting that fixed under warranty. And if you supercharge it and the engine and driveline fail - you're pretty much stuffed on any claim one the driveline. Important bit is to your read your specific warranty, and see what IT says (no amount of anecdotes or advice here is going to help, unless the person giving such advice had YOUR warranty in front of them).

And to be honest
I probably wouldnt take it back to a car yard to get a warranty claim unless they were very reputable like a manufacturer dealer. Some used car yards are dodgy so if eventually you force them into doing a warranty claim there just going to either a dodge job and hope it holds till your warranty expires or do nothing and say they fixed it. |
