Brett: I didn't take it in 'cause I don't want to be without my car for weeks while parts come from Japan, when a simple fix like what I did (and will re-do tonight with some better materials) will keep me going for the time being. There is no Scion dealer within 2 hours of my home. The local Toyota dealer's family also owns Toyota, Scion, and Lexus dealerships a couple of hours away, so they set up the purchase deal on the car. I hope they will be equally willing to help with any warranty issues as they pop up. The actual dealer who sold me the car thinks that this was well on it's way before I took delivery, and eventually gave out and popped, and that they should cover it.
Jeebus: Two lines, $236 each before tax, suggested list. About $140 each dealer cost. Not in stock anywhere in North America, and no estimated delivery time. Pretty much what I figured, and part of why I didn't have it towed in.
civicdrivr: Sorry, high pressure hose. 5/16" I.D. dual wall with a fibreglass braid. It's pretty soft stuff, much like old-school fuel line hose, but rated for a higher pressure. It is pretty obvious from the teeth marks that it was a small rodent. That, or someone really hates me and put a LOT of effort into making it look like teeth marks.
