Warranty/Grinding noise
Wednesday, January 11, 2006 2:43 PM
Whenever I make a left turn it makes this sound as if something is grinding up against something else. At first I just thought it was becuase of cold weather but now it just doesnt seem right. I installed a K&N intake, thats the only thing. Other than that, the car is still covered by warranty.

Do you guys know if I need to reinstall the stock intake just so they won't give me crap about the warranty being voided when I take the car in? Or is it OK if I just leave it be, since I highly doubt this problem has anything to do with what I installed.

Alright I just put back everything stock. You think its the break pads? I just had those replaced this summer because my car was bumpy when I braked. It sounds awful when I turn, I don't know. I'm just going to bring it in tommorow since its under warranty still.

The one thing I couldnt find again when I replaced the stock stuff was the plastic rivet that goes with the throttle cable cover. Here's a pick of the cover and a similar rivet (that really belongs to hold the fuse box down). I put on the cover with the fuse box rivet instead, since the fuse box doesn't look like it really needs it, but I was wondering if you guys knew where I could find something like that...would any general auto store carry something? Here's a link to a picture if you don't know what I'm talking about:

could be the rotors too. if its something w/ the brakes or rotors, they are going to charge you to fix it since its regular maintaince
