Cragus Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Car is in getting serviced today and I have brought up the fact that there is a strip of paint fade above my right exhaust. Hoping that they will fix this under warranty although still waiting on the 'you car is ready phone call'. Anybody else experienced this? What do you think is a reasonable expectation on my part? Surely the paint shouldnt be dulling away because of heat from the exhaust - especially only having done 26000 miles and less than 3 years on the road?

Cragus Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Just back and got the response I was expecting.... "Yeah...its heat from the exhaust thats causing the paint fade.....BUT its because you have an induction kit on it." (JWT Pop charger for those who are interested). The service department also said the pop charger was responsible for rough idle even though its known to be common issue with the car. I was waiting to see what else they could blame it for. "Yeah your boot doesn't click open perfectly because of your induction kit and errrr, we forgot to put your oil cap back on because of that induction kit" Also said he couldnt get a clear picture of it on his digital camera to forward to Nissan - dosent help that his digital camera was out of a christmas cracker. What do I do - let Nissan bend me over as usual I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cragus Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Tried all kinds of polish to no avail! ZMANALEX....you don't count. You have two fire breathing dragons under your bonnet...mythical creatures are not covered by warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I'd give it a polish. Or remove the popcharger, refit the std airbox and go back with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragus Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Think I am going to do that Stew... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
