Hello,

Im looking for a 2015 Audi S8, found one with 70k miles on it tuned Stage 1.
considering buying, is the stage 1 are bad for this car if im considering driving it daily.
is the Audi pre sense will be disabled because it is on Stage 1?
Taking into consideration that this vehicle is only can be repaired at dealer because of its parts.
most mechanics here got no clue of doingg electric repairs for it they said thatt only oil change they can do.
Now if the car is with stage 1 the dealer here will not accept it for a repair?
is removing stage 1 will affect car sensors or any OEM parts?

The dealer can always discover that the car has been modified, even if you remove the tune.

That said, it should be easy to find many mechanics who service Audi's in the Netherlands. You are right next door to Germany!

It's pretty well accepted that a stage 1 tune is safe. Just make sure you use high octane gasoline, as the tuner recommends.

Would be in your best interest to get it re-flashed to the octane of your choice. Don't rely on the dealer or previous owner to guarantee what it was tuned for. Better to be safe than sorry. Or call the MFG of the tune and give them the VIN and see what octane tune(s) they flashed to the vehicle.
