Gonna have them replace a speaker, changer the wipers, and check out some sort of leak under the car - anything else?

Also, should I put the stock wheels back on? If they change the front pads, I'll need them to put my 5mm spacers back on - will they do that? (I know tire shops won't touch wheels with spacers b/c of some liability.)

Default I'm shocked you still have warranty left. I hate you:P

37K miles and out of warranty, what kind of nonsense is that?

Default Dude that sucks...

They have denied me warranty coverage before b/c of my wheels (made me pay for the brake replacement b/c I didn't yet have the spacers)...I'm hoping they don't try to blame the leak I found on my suspension (I scrape a lot) - it's probably something expensive.

Default put the stock wheels back on. better safe than sorry

If I recall, you had the same problem with brake clearance and new pads as well, right?

Default Yeah....

I was gonna tell them to use the spacers if they change the brakes (I pulled the the spacers off a while back after the clearance was no longer an issue), but I guess I'll change back to the stockers.

they don't change the oil filter at the 40k service so you may want to pay the $15 for the oil filter and have them do that as well

Default The Water Pump.

Say that you hear it making noise up front. My pump seized and killed the engine. Don't let that happen to you. I am still chaseing lack of power issues since. But I got new turbos and heads.
