Default Oil change...Torque Tube...Fuel Line TSB

Went in for an oil change (~20K miles) and had them look into a rattle in the engine compartment. It sounded like something was rattling against the firewall.

Well, turns out there is a TSB for a fuel feed line rattle and I have an issue with flex plate bolts causing another rattle...
Good thing I bought an extended warranty (for the first time EVER).
$6,200 is the estimate

That repair will certainly pay for the warranty and then some. Too bad you are having the problems, but hope the dealer does a great job with the repairs.

The fuel line rattle started recently? Interesting.
Please update this thread as repairs are done. You might save us a lot of guess work in the future.
Thanks and good luck.

I'd be very interested in the details of the $6200 estimate.

I'll post it up when the once the work is done. I haven't looked at it since it's a warranty issue (figure the cost is between them and the dealer....)

Yeah, sounded like something rattling against the firewall on the passenger side. Seems there's a TSB for it.
