    It was a brand new car. Yes, it's not common that ECU fails in a brand new VAG car, but it did happen (maybe even in 2 cars in one year, Corey_R would probably remember), so for that reason I would wait.

    VW then have to prove that the ECU failure was due to the tune - based on the massive amount of ECU tunes out there, that could be an uphill battle for them ?

    Of course, but that would take a time. I remember that failed car was from QLD and he was waiting I think at least 1 month for his car to be fixed. Sure many things can go wrong with the car, but many just happen in the first 2,000km. Considering that when people buy a brand new, they drive a bit more, so it doesn't take that long to clock some kms.
