CAT questions?
I finally took the my car to my fiance's brother's car shop to have him check out my car to figure out where that rotten egg smell comes from when i accelerate real hard.
He said it was my CAT and that since i have it under warranty to bring it to the Dealership to have them replace it. So i brought it to the dealership by my home (Manfredi Dealership in Brooklyn) and they came up w/ the same conclusion. They said they will call me when the part came in. While i was waiting, I noticed that there was a sign posted that said "$80 per hour for labor". Accck...that's alot of $$$....i was thinking if i could ask them for the part itself and just have my fiance's bro install it for Free, but i doubt they would do that. So would it be more productive to just not do it and live w/ it? or Since i plan on upgrading my exhaust anyway (within 6-12 months)...wouldnt it be better to just use the $$$ for a new exhaust rather than pay them to just replace the stock CAT. I figured this would resolve the problem also... |

just ask for the cat. they can't say no because it's under waranty and they are required to give it to you or they'd be breaching a contract or something (maybe). just ask. you never know.

You can ask, but they will probably say "no". If there is a problem with the new part it could be the way it was handled on installation. If they install a part (or even supply a part) under Warranty it means Subaru is paying for it and the old part may need to be returned to Subaru.
Why cause more work for you or your brother-in-law? Warranty means they will fix it, labor included. |
