The TOB is a very common failure on these cars. I would highly suggest having it replaced while apart. There is not much to "look at" with them. They would have to remove and try spinning by hand to see how the bearing feels. It could feel file to them, and then fail in 3 weeks.

Update on mine... it died on me on the interstate at 80mph ~3500rpm. I got a CEL when it died. P1235, high pressure fuel pump circuit. I went to data log it the next day and it seemed to breakup above 3500rpm and go into "fuel cut" for lack of a better way to describe it. The fuel pressures looked good tho.
The next day, I checked the connectors for the high pressure/direct injector control unit, and blew them out. Then I checked the bolts. They were snug, but not tight. That controller grounds to the bracket. After tightening. I reset the ECU and cleared the trouble codes. I've driven almost 100mi since, with plenty of WOT runs and trying to recreate the conditions of the issues and I have not had any problems. Just my .02.

I also had to call the dealership every week to find out what they were doing to the car, it like they didn’t really want me to know. Once I found out that I was only getting one new head I called corporate to find out what I needed to do to have the other head replaced at the same time. The next call back I got was to tell me the car was ready to be picked up. I am not happy with how it all went down. They need to be better prepared for worst case issues like mine.

This is what I generally recommend:
Spark Plugs (no labor) Drive belt (no labor) T/O Bearing and inspect/clean snout 0.5hour labor (if snout needs to be replace then 1.5hour labor) Clutch, pilot bearing, pressure plate 1.5hour ....Service items your car is due for minus oil change, spark plugs, coolant because thats all included in the recall. So like a 60K, i would recommend brake flush, air filters, cabin air filter, rotation, brake inspection, drain refill trans, drain refill diff and just a general good look over the whole vehicle. |

The rebuild kit comes with all the seals you need. Unless you're talking about valve seals. I have never have to replace chain slippers. Tensioners yeah probably. Most of that depending on mileage. You dont want to scare the customer away either. |

Just scheduled my service. Dealer is charging me 1 hour of labor to do the Throw out bearing and belt, both of which I'm purchasing from them, and they are letting me bring in my own clutch to replace. Sadly I paid to have the spark plugs replaced a few months ago when doing another service before I knew about this recall otherwise they offered to change those within the 1 hour of service as well.

valve spring recall/ additional work performed when engine is out
Quote:
Did you have oil contamination in your engine bay? If not I sort of call BS. I’ve never had a leak that didn’t create a big ass mess of the engine bay somewhere. Hot oil blows all over the place and collects dirt. Also on a boxer oil leaks tend to drop on the header and burn which is hard to miss. Also $240 is a steep price for carb cleaner.

Got mine back from dealer / recall work this morning. I had requested they replace plugs, check TOB and replace if needed. I mentioned that I had done a great amount of research from forums regarding the recall. I even left a copy of the diagram posted on this site regarding the issue with the sealant on the passenger seat. ...........
When i picked it up, they charged me for the plugs and nothing on the paperwork regarding checking the TOB. |
