Mechanical Cover
Autotech holds no liability for the failure of mechanical components due to the fact that the nature of performance tuning results in additional stresses being exerted on the engine and vehicles components. Additional information on particular items are highlighted below 

Turbo – A turbo is liable to failure even on brand new vehicles running a manufacturer standard map, they can last from 10k miles up to 150k miles and there is no indication of longevity. Due to the high operating speed a simple small weakness can cause failure. When performance tuning we utilise a very small boost increase which is within the design limit of the turbo, this does however have the potential to highlight any weakness’ and can, although very rare, cause the turbo to fail. This is extremely infrequent however we cannot be held liable in this instance. 

Clutch – The life of a clutch can vary hugely depending on the type of use, for instance, a car used mainly in town will wear the thrust bearing and pressure plate much quicker than a vehicle used predominantly for motorway driving. The clutch and related components will undergo additional stress when modified and as such, it is not uncommon for it to highlight any weakness in the clutch operation. We reserve the right to void the 14-day money back guarantee on vehicles outside the manufacturers standard warranty period.
