intake while in service

kodarren · 01-01-2010, 03:13 PM

Currently I have my BMS intake in my car, do you guys think it will be a problem if I leave it that way for the service? will it avoid my warranty? Thank you!

Craig@SupremePower · 01-01-2010, 03:30 PM

depends on the dealership... i'd throw the factory airbox back in to avoid the hassle!

JBiddy · 01-01-2010, 05:00 PM

what are you getting done? it also depends on the dealer

Dan335i · 01-01-2010, 05:51 PM

I leave my DCI in when i go to the dealer.But my dealer is mod friendly,depends like everyone is going to tell you,on the dealer.

nyc3r · 01-01-2010, 10:19 PM

yup, if the dealership is factory owned.. they will care about mods..

kodarren · 01-01-2010, 10:44 PM

Dan335i · 01-02-2010, 08:25 PM

Best thing is to go to the dealership and talk to the techs, and ask them.Thats what i did,then i got friendly with the service manager.I gave him 100 dollars for christmas,and i,m sure he will remember that,just like last year and the year before.It works.

stevenqdz · 01-02-2010, 09:39 PM

^ lol i didnt know bribing was a option...

you're lucky that tech has been around couple years.. better hope he is still there next time you visit..

i took my car in to be serviced bc my AC was leaking on the interior foot wells and my intake was in. they didn't say anything.

PKumarM3 · 01-03-2010, 01:05 PM

unless the modification is a direct cause of the problem - then they will comment.

for example, my low beams were aimed too low. unfortunately my car is lowered on KW V1 and the front end is too low. the dealership, Park Ave, was unable to resolve my issue, which is just retarded, and were unable to aim my headlights properly. they blamed my coilovers and said, thats all we can do - if your car was factory height then we could fix it.

i wouldn't sweat it. there is nothing an intake affects other than increased air flow. obviously improper installation could lead to OTHER things, but couplers and filters are not going to affect anything major. keep em in.

kodarren · 01-03-2010, 06:38 PM

yeah...called them today and they said it is all depend on what kind of intake i have.

stevenqdz · 01-09-2010, 11:04 AM

so at the end did u leave it on or took it off.....and how did ur service go
