If they, by sound alone, notice a wrapped OFH with stock header back exhaust, while they fix my folded passenger window seal, I would be extremely surprised.
also, I'm sorry to go off topic, but I am tired of this cheater, pay to play crap. No one is pulling anything over any eyes. If I replace some exhaust component and have a leak, yeah, it's on me. If I load up an aftermarket tune and a a non associated problem occurs, especially a common factory defect, like 5th/6th synchro starts grinding, I'm supposed to to do what? Tell myself I'm a cheater for wanting them to honor the warranty, without having to waste a lot of my time fighting with them and explaining to them, that It's not associated. Give them an excuse to deny my coverage saying It's "heavily modified" and that I have been using it in a manner it was not intended to be used? Only to have to elevate it to corporate and get it covered under "good faith" anway? Who is cheating who here? I guess I'll just never understand some people. How about I "accept that fact and be ready to fix stuff myself" as long as you accept it, the next time you get denied by your health insurance company for a knee injury because you drink a coke every couple of days, and eat a piece of cheese cake on Sunday.

No one is suggesting that you try to return to stock to have an unrelated problem fixed. I'm suggesting that people mod stuff and when it breaks, they return to stock and hope the dealer will fix it for them. You see it all the time with people and forced induction, cam issues, etc...
If you don't think that a cam timing issue might be related to the fact that you are uploading a tune that is adjusting the cam timing from the factory settings then I don't know what to tell you. You may be reading to much into what I said, or somehow you feel its justifiable to return a car to stock knowing that what you've done caused the issue. It doesn't appear that's the case since you noted the exhaust leak issue and how that's on you but your overly defensiveness suggests otherwise.
TL: DR All I'm saying is when you mod stuff and that stuff or related stuff breaks, fix it yourself. Don't try and cheat the system and get the dealer to fix your (obviously not directed at you, but in a general sense of people who mod cars) screw ups, it only makes it harder for everyone else who has legitimate warranty claims. |
