question about warranty
Wednesday, July 12, 2006 10:02 AM
can someone tell me the drivetrain warranty ,reason i ask is it feel i have a burnt valve( the dollar bill test ) the car runs like crap and idels the same ,step on the gas and spits and sputters ,also i put on the supercharger kit and i hope its just coincidence and not a related issue,i haven't done a vacume test to see which one it is,but i know that they have to prove that the supercharger caused it,which i feel that is what caused it, any help on this would be greatly appreciated,thanks


if at first you don't succeed,you should probably give up

"ut i know that they have to prove that the supercharger caused it,which i feel that is what caused it"

So by your admission you feel you caused it, why would you expect the dealer to cover it??

By the way a cylinder leak down is what you need to do to determine if you have a bad valve.

If the engine is modified they won't honor the warrenty UNLESS they installed the modifications. If it wasn't done by them, i'd remove it then take it to them for warrenty work. Let them fix it, then put it back on. IF you let them see it with that, they will enter it in the system as a "modified" car and no matter where you take it after that, even if you remove the supercharger your screwed. My experience with dealers.
