    Interesting! I doubt they would open the case for me, that sounds like more work/time for them. But I could ask them to do it, I suppose. My...

    Red Triangle, P0a80 (2005 Gen 2, 110k miles)

    Thanks - actually it is a 5 year warranty extension, so 6 years total warranty. And then you get $600 refunded from that total, hence $2150.
