i will be taking my 2006 6MT G to the dealership this Monday. Things to be checked out include:

1) squeaky driver's seat
2) squeaky rear brake (12k miles only)
3) oil comsumption test (dammit...me too)

i have 25mm wheel spacers installed in the rear. should i leave them on, or should i remove them? i am afraid the dealer might give me a hard time saying that they are the cause of the premature wear on the brakes. i know, i know... they have to prove that the aftermarket part directly caused the problem (even though a wheel spacer and brakes dont have any direct relationship, but still).

also i have an engine spacer. will they give me a hard time about that too in relation to burning oil?? anyone have experience with this?

 

...nobody??

 

take all 3 spacers off. why give they the opportunity to blame it on you. i always go back to stock before taking it in

 

damn, i'm just lazy. i must have removed my wheels and put them back on at least a dozen times in the past month. oh well

 

anyone else?? do you think they'll give me an FX loaner?

 

The dealer near me (South Bay Infiniti) only have Sedans so No FX Also, for the seat, they tried 3 times and they can't get that damn noise to go away. They also replaced the entire seat with no joy. So, I say don't get your hopes up on the seat.

However, if I were you, this is what I'll do. When you are about to go on a trip, have them fix the seat but bring it in on Friday and then now you have a loaner for the entire weekend (even you know they won't be able to fix it). They had my car for a week and I got two free tank of gas off of it

 

My driver seat squeaks too but usually I can't hear it with the music up loud. 90% of the time I'm in the car I have the sound blasting, can't hear sqwaks and rattles.

 

hahahahaha, I do this as well.

But we should turn the music down for more reasons than one.
