Can someone please explain to me why a valve adjustment would be quoted as costing $2300. Is it really that much in labor even if there is a few hundred in miscellaneous parts (gaskets, etc).
Also, why is this repair not covered under the SAS GOLD plan when everything under the sun is? I've researched my documentation for the SAS GOLD and it does not differentiate between a repair/adjustment -- seems like they are contradicting what was sold to avoild getting out of doing this costly 'repair.' I've been fighting with the dealer in trying to fix a P0304 code for a few months. First it was "caused by a bad plug" and it was cleared during my 90K. It came back a month later, now it was caused by the bad P2443 Secondary Air Valve that was replaced -- cleared, and now it's back a few days later.. This time they swapped injector 2/4 along with the coil packs to see if they could get the code moved -- it stayed, so now they're saying the car requires a $2300 valve adjustment to fix - which won't be covered.
I'm about to take SOA to small claims on this one -- I feel like I'm getting jobbed.
P0304 is a Cylinder 4 Misfire.
