Remap void warranty / Ford service? or not

Postby Kennyb » Fri Jun 16, 2017 5:36 pm

My wellhouse leisure converted campervan is due its 2 yr service it's on 22,600 miles with 125 bhp engine,and whilst at a motorhome show I had a removable tuning box(torquing diesel) fitted, it apparently fools the ecm unit ( total +hit waste of good money £240.so again at one of the shows bit the bullet and had it remapped by quantum tuning but this time they went into the ecm box so I assume voiding the warranty, but what a difference outstanding,the guy recommended not outright performance so we settled for the mid range remap giving 168 bhp and plenty of torque which is great when towing no need for unnecessary gear changes for overtaking/ hills etc (heaven) question is if the warranty is void do I still have to have Ford to do the service quoted £251.or get my neighbour,s son Vauxhall commercial trained mechanic to do the work ,any advice welcome thanks

The warranty would only be void if they could prove that the failure was as a result of the remap.
Get it serviced at Ford to maintain the warranty. I have had a number of out of warranty claims paid by Ford because they have had full Ford service historys
