Guys out there, since the new car that we bought comes with warranty. So need your help to list down and determine which parts if being modded will void the warranty. For example: - Bodykit - Upgrade larger sport rims - HID lamp - Exhaust - Volt stabilizer / E-Drive Throttle Controller - ICE (head unit, speaker etc) If this parts being modded will it void the factory warranty? Beside this, any others? Please consult.. Thanks

Install body kits that required drilling holes on car body, then void the car body problem issue such as knocking noise, rattling noise and etc.
Change wheel or sport rims, spring and absorber, void the car suspension warranty.
Modification on engine, any parts from it, void the whole engine warranty. Any problem occur to the engine, handle yourself.
From the 3 matters above, you will understand that no matter which part you try to do modification, that part or section warranty will be voided.

Better don't mod brand new car for first 3 to 5 years to enjoy the warranty coverage unless of course u have extra cash to spend later on.

Basically, whatever that's not STOCK is good enough reason for the SC to void your warranty.

If i only change the HID light, then it only void the warranty of LIGHT ? does not affect any other parts ? If yes, then it does not cause me a big problem as my car is only MYVI. i think the bulbs are not too expensive too while it is affordable.

Higher end car have more electronic sensor, any wiring alter might blow it. for myvi is simple, change HID but don't cut/mod any original wiring, anything serious happen, just take it out and change to ORI ...
