Warranty Bits?

Funkster · 15-06-2011, 12:46 AM

Hi guys just a quick check.

The new car is going in tommorrow to try and persuade the dealer that they should be giving me a new Backbox as the clamping brack is cracked and giving a slight rattle when cold and Iv'e also noticed the rear seems to be moving around a little so will be checking out the rtab at the same time.

The dealer has said the technician will take a look undeneath the motor with me so is there anything else I should be just taking a little look at for any possible warranty work whilst I'm there.

The car all seems good apart from this and has just clocked up 34k.

Thanks in advance Matty.

Seals around the diff weep a little but they will check this as its a common thing. Get them to check the subframe mountings as well whilst they are at it.

get them to check the rear springs, they often snap, and maybe your problem.

Well one spring broken warranty, and rtab's starting to go but will not replace under warranty.
Seems a bit of a grey area this one as some have and some aint but im hoping the spring may be the reason for feeling a little loose at the back... but more realistically the bushes.

limiter kit due I think.

There contacting the powers to be about the exhaust so i'll keep my fingers crossed as I believe the clamps shouldn't snap at 34k

I think the warranty claims assessors look at age as a factor more often these days - the CSL is almost 8 years old of course...

They usually put new springs on in pairs.
