I see here that you're still under warranty...

If you’d move to a place that uses kilometers you would get an extra 2136 miles until your warranty is over.

True that.

There’s actually a TSB for a new one that I still haven’t had done yet, so I’ll be covered on that end. Haha

I’ve done that one for the crickets. It didn’t help. The only thing that works for mine is non-ethanol.

If it is a TSB, and your warranty is up, then the cost for it falls to you.

TSBs are just a way for the manufacturer to communicate to dealers how to diagnose and repair certain issues (typically widespread ones). They are techinical instructions only. The TSB grants no coverage, and is NOT like a recall (which the manufacturer does pay for).

I thought TSBs were optional for a dealer to perform, more as a “here’s a way to fix “x” issue”. Not necessarily covered by warranty. Am I mistaken?

You’re right, my mistake.

Damn, should’ve gone in and gotten a free new HPFP before turning that number on the clock! lol

Nope, I was. You’re right.

TSBs also aren’t mandatory, so if your car isn’t exhibiting the symptoms of the issue the TSB addresses, then the dealer has no obligation to apply the TSB (warranty or not).

So if your fuel pump is working fine, there’s nothing a dealer would do about it even before the warranty was up.

And the warranty on your BMW is up, that’ll be $3203

Thank you for confirming about the TSBs.

Yep, recognized the error in my post.

Supercharge it

I can’t even get myself to drop $1k on an EcuTek license and tune so that I can use the header sitting in my storage unit. lol

Supercharger would be cool, but I’d likely get a cage and trailer before forced induction.

How much power does the header and tune add? I am guessing about 20-30 since that’s what an ND gains from them.

Chris_K_F drives an FR-Slow > Vicente Esteve 12/16/2016 at 10:11

Yep. A good header and tune should put the car at around 200whp, from ~170ish in stock form.

Vicente Esteve > Chris_K_F drives an FR-Slow 12/16/2016 at 11:30

I guess that’s a nice power bump.

Yeah. The main benefit is smoothing out the torque dip, so there’s a better power delivery in the low-end.

Hopefully your throw out bearing doesn’t fail in the next two weeks.

Fucking Cruze.
