check engine + dealer
ok i want to take my car into the dealership soon and i have a CEL from my hfc. I wanted to know if they would give me a hard time for that
the reason im going in is because it sounds like alot of air is leaking through my passenger window when im driving on the freeway. also i have a nail in each of my rear tires and i wanted to get them replaced with my tire protection. is there a limit on the times you can use your tire protection because i had a tire replaced with the tire protection due to a nail a while back. i also just lowered my car today on eibach and i doubt they would blame the nails on the springs but i just want to see if someone can confirm that.

As far as the CEL light from your HFC's, it seems like different service depts are wishy-washy.....some are mod friendly, some are "it's either stock or you're screwed". Keep us posted on your repairs!

Can you clarify the tire replacement? Tire Road Hazard covers tire repairs or replacement. It will only be replaced if the nail compromises the sidewall of the tire, otherwise it's patched from the inside. This is included with most of Infiniti's service plans. I would assume the Tire Package which covers replacement of wheels and tires due to damage would also cover repair of the tire and only replace if not repairable. Are they replacing the tire regardless of whether it can be repaired?

Well they will need to diagnose the problem with the CEL. If it's not due to your HFCs then likely they can't blame it on them. You'll just have to have them run diagnostics on your car and see where the CEL is coming from first. If it IS because of the HFC, you'll have to pay out of pocket for it instead of it being warranty work. Then again, some service depts are mod-friendly and might work with you on it. Good luck bro!
