Will this void warranty? My car's manual says additives are not recommended.

If your vehicle is under warranty and having issues i'd just take it to the dealer. It is normal for manuals to list additives as not recommended, doesn't mean that they'll hurt it, just covers the manf. With that said, with how little a tube makes up of the total capacity of tranny fluid, I highly doubt they'd be able to tell.

Not sure what you are using it for, but if your planning on doing a permanent long term repair I would replace the metal. Por has been a big pain in the butt for me. I'm running into problems using it to restore a car right now. I wish I never used any of their products to be honest with you. That said if you are making a temporary repair it sticks to sand blasted or rusted metal. Scrape the flaky rust off and clean it with a wire wheel use there metal clean and apply. Granted there is a place and time for por15 but it's very hard to top coat and takes a long time for all the processes to be completed. There support line is usually pretty informative though.

sorry, no clue. call permatex and ask. says it's good for everything automotive, and there's a lot of plastic on cars these days, but I'd double-check.

Doing something like that will only void the warranty. Perform at your own risk.

Depends on the dealer you take it to honestly.. I'm a tech at a Lexus dealer and basically if somthing breaks or goes wrong that was cause by aftermarket products or the installation of them then no that wouldn't be warranty.. Like if you complain about tire wear or premature front axle boot cracking ... But if you have engine problems or catalyst issues it should be no problem

I installed this on my 2014 a year ago. To the best of my knowledge it does not void the warranty and is easily removable if you lease the truck. Get a good alignment after installation and get the headlights adjusted. They'll be a bit high.

According to my dealer this WILL NOT void the factory warranty. They actually told me just today that an intake, tuner, or even lowering/lifting the truck would not void the warranty. But they of course will not warrant the aftermarket parts.

No. For warranty claims the servicing dealership will have to prove that the aftermarket part caused the failure of the warranted parts of the car. This does not cause any manufactured parts to fail.

You should do some research online and call some dealerships before you decide. I got mixed answers on both. Ultimately I decided that the concensus was if the problem wasn't caused by the alteration then the warranty was fine. I asked two dealerships and one said it would and one said it wouldn't. It's a tough call.

Yes. The one thing to consider is VW dealers won't install it for you and also if you install it by yourself and something gets messed up it may void the warranty. However everyone who talks about intakes for VW talks about k&n; or apr.

Magnuson Moss Warranty Act states that any voided warranty must be directly caused by the aftermarket part installed. So realistically the only warranty it could void would have to be anything electrical, but they have to PROVE that the sub caused it.

Technically anything that modifies your cars engine could potentially void the warranty, but just keep the stock intake air box and if you have any problems put it back to stock before taking it to the dealer for repairs. I actually just did that this weekend because my Passat has the dreaded cam follower issue that's covered under VW extended warranty, I put my stock intake back on and towed it up there, they didn't say anything and are covering the cost of the repairs. Good luck!

Probably, with the help of a machinist. Also, I believe that would void the warranty.

It's a judgment call. Flip a coin. I would not pay for the extra warranty myself on this small an item... now if it was a car that's a different story... this thing will work fine and get plenty use out of it before it quits if you hook it up right and use it right.

Hey Jacob It doesnt void the warranty, only because you can take it off at anytime and replace the stock air intake. The only way you can void your warranty is if you mechanically alter your vehicle such as a computer tuner which would rewrite the computer in the vehicle or if you put a turbo on your vehicle. Those two types of adjustments would void your warranty. So in other words dont tune the engine and you should be fine. All the cold air intake does is draw more air into the intake which creates more power do to the fuel and air mixture. You might get better mpg from this. So get it put it on and youll hear a difference when you push your car past the 5000 rpm range. Thanks and hope this helps.

To my knowledge it will not...not void your factory warranty. Hope this helps.

Not sure for certain, but I would think any kind of modifications of a product voids a warranty
