Downpipe fix at dealer??

Chrisred · 01-05-2011, 06:16 PM

Wanna go in for my scheduled brake fluid change as recommended every two years. I have FMIC DCI and DP as bolt ons. Took out JB3 But what about DP fix?? Should I take it out?? If I don't they will see the CEL and might search for more.... if I leave it on no CEL but will they care about it if they find it??

They don't care until something breaks. Sure, they'll take your money and do the install but don't expect them to have your back when something goes south and a regional manager comes to inspect a warranty claim. Just my $.02

I've been running with fully catless turbo-back system since April of last year. I've been at least 4 times for various maintenance and repairs to the dealer and there they updated the software twice since then. I just got my car back from replaced HPFP, fuel injectors, spark plugs, oil change, air filter change and software update.

Nothing was ever mentioned about my O2 sim. If they do not have reasons to open the ECU box, they won't mess with it and won't find out.
