Fellas please help, I have a question about whether or not to turn off my Xede?

lvittorio · 02-04-2008, 11:22 PM

I have an Xede and tonight I hit a huge pothole and blew out my tire. The car will be towed to the dealer in the morning, do I need to turn the Xede off? Or since they will only be replacing a tire and maybe a rim will it be okay to leave it on.
Thanks!

I would turn it off....

first of all, I would never purchase a tire from my dealer. If your heart is set on taking it to the dealer, I'd put the bypass plugs in, or load a stock boost map. After putting the tire on, one of the guys may want to take it for a spin.

I can see them checking the alignment as well.

This is an often asked question that really depends on the situation and dealer. For just a new tire you probably would be okay, but I know there are members here that would go back to stock just to be on the safe side.

Let us know how it turns out!

I wish I had a valet switch to turn off everything (including, radio & A/C) on my dealer trips. Limit the temptation for a joys ride.
