Lol, you can spell solenoid but have trouble with brake?

Anyway many of those seem normal for your car 2,3,5
Some are nice of them 10,11
Some are straight up maintenance, not warranty 6,7,8
9 was because of 12, pretty much should count as one item

you made out good. smile.

Win! I am glad they covered everything.

brakes are a maintenance item. how is that a headache? did you expect brakes to never wear out?

and brake sensor and parking brake adjustment were part of the rear brake job.

Envuks · 05-16-2012, 06:47 PM

Meh, it's not a warranty until you get new turbos out of it...

Elliott@DetailAddict · 05-16-2012, 06:55 PM

Yea, I've have my Vanos, interior trim, turbo #1, wastegate #2, entire power system, oil filter housing and a few other things...

Considering the turbo replacement, wastegate assemblies, and power system were all in the thousands I'm a happy camper.

bucket328 · 05-16-2012, 07:20 PM

Head, tranny, diff, few gaskets, door lock actuators and new seat matts.

OC3 occupancy sensor for airbag perhaps.

chromisdesigns · 05-17-2012, 12:54 PM

Warranty up this week, here's my list:

2 New HPFP's, one early on about 20K, second under the recall (no symptoms, but failed pressure test)

3 new injectors, recall, failed test

Broken hood latch, one, replaced. Replacement froze up, replaced again.

Accelerator pedal assembly replaced, squeaking noises when lightly pressed

Several re-programs, one for turbo noise/turbo delay, others after service visits to cure electroinc gremlins caused by failed programming during the service (can't they tell when the programming fails????)

Driver's side window control module replaced (finally, after 3 visits) to cure auto-opening windows and sunroof problem

Rear control arm bushing replaced, creaking in wet weather

1 seat rail cover replaced, came off and disappeared at some point, or wasn't there to begin with. Only found it when the other side popped off and I was trying to figure out what the heck it was.
