Its simple, there is no TSB but they agreed there is an issue based on a leak down test I had to beg them to do. The poor guys are clueless without a TSB. Plus their is no ECU calibration flash for the dealers to prevent recurrence .

So I've decided to forgo warranty and flash a proper reliable tune (after installing the new seals .)

Time for me to quit complaining about the OEM's and just enjoy the car as it was meant to be: modified .
