I didn't see any stickies regarding this topic and I see a lot of questions with an equal amount of misinformation. My goal here is to provide 100% unbiased, factual information when it comes to modifying your vehicle (in this particular case, our Golf!). This post will break down warranty information, TD1/How-can-the-dealer-know-if-I'm-tuned and Holy-hell-what-if-they-find-out-I'm-tuned information. The reason I'm posting it here is because the GTI/Golf R are the more heavily-tuned vehicles in the Volkswagen lineup due to their reputation and general audience they're designed for.
Now, how does your vehicle's VIN get flagged with a TD1 code? It's simple, really; And people seem to think this crap won't happen if you bring your car in with the stock file after it's been tuned. Guess what? IT DON'T MATTER: the dealership itself has no way to manually "mark" or "exclude" a vehicle with/without the TD1 code - it's all done on the backend automatically via ElsaPro and it's communication to VW/Audi's database servers. If you're tuned the system will detect it and it will mark your VIN with a TD1 code; it's that simple.
Audi VW Elsa 5.2 electronic information system of service enterprise - dealer information base on preliminary treatment and car repairs Audi and Volkswagen contains the detailed and full description of technology of repair, service, preliminary treatment, wiring schemes, works, the catalogue of spare parts for guarantee replacement, e.t.c.
In base cars of 1947-2016 years of manufacture are considered. The full information on repair of the Audi and a Volkswagen is presented basically on cars 1986-2015, wiring diagrams 1992-2015.

Base ELSAWin contains following basic sections:
Maintenance Manual - the description of service intervals of service and the maintenance of the service works, conveniently allocated on systems of the car. For each type of service works the necessary special tool and the equipment is underlined. Specifications, and also methods of check of those or other parameters are resulted. Carrying out of all works is explained by qualitative illustrations;
Body Repair - the description works, the recommendation on editing separate parts of a body, body dimensions and so forth;
Workshop Manual - the basic on repair and preliminary treatment - an arrangement of identification data, features of the device of separate gears, specifications of various parameters (volumes of refueling capacities, wheel alignment angles and so forth), The used diagnostic both repair equipment and the special tool, the description of works on assembly, disassembly, resetting, repair and preliminary treatment, the information on an arrangement of components and gears and so forth is concrete for the diagnostician the following information contains: an arrangement of a diagnostic socket, detailed tables of decodings of codes of failures with the instruction of the possible reasons of failure, symptoms, and also sequences of checks for elimination of failure, the description of the maintenance of read out blocks of current parameters with the instructionindication of normative values, work with ports of adaptation and so forth the Information in section is broken into blocks: gearbox, body, brake system, electrical system, engine, heater, radio, telephone, navigation, running gear and so forth;
Emission test - special section on check of ecological parameters of the car - the visual control, specifications CO/CH/lambda, parameters of candles, temperatures of the engine, idle running, an ignition advance;
Current Flow Diagrams - wiring diagrams on all systems of the car.
Elsa contains the documentation on service and following information programs:
The Catalogue of working positions
The Catalogue of codes of failures
Manual on technical equipment of service
Manual on technical equipment of service
Schemes of an electrical equipment
Check of toxicity
The Repair manual
Inspection service and care

Individual instructions on the car
In new versions of program ELSA Audi and Volkswagen add the information not only on new, but also on old cars.
For full installation of program Audi VW ELSA the hard disk with file system NTFS is required.
By means of interface Audi VW - ETKA fast access is provided to numbers of spare parts.
So, for example, for a call of number certain spare parts, being in the information program "Repair manual", it is necessary to press pictogram ETKA. After that catalogue ETKA with automatic transition to page with number demanded spare parts will be opened.
Noticed conflicts Elsa:
If at you wiring diagrams do not show, install program Adobe SVGVView from an adjusting disk.
