For you tC owners that do custom mods on your car, i have a question. Does your warranty still cover it? or do you simply not care? or do you have a "system"?

 

its not that big of a deal to me. I do what I want to do.

I know that sounds cocky of me, but the only problems that i can forsee occuring because of my mods is the engine getting hydrolocked due to the CAI, but i dont drive through lakes, so i dont think i have too much to worry about!

 

Warranty does not cover aftermarket parts or any problems caused by them

 

buy trd and have toyota install it, no worries

 

but what if u have a prob and u only have bolt ons, and u need to take it to the dealer can u just take that off and but the stock stuff back on, or would the dealer ship know that u did something to it? jw

 

no they wouldn't know, but if it is caused by one of those parts...that's just shady. If you have a problem that is not caused by an aftermarket part, then your warranty will cover the problem...they're not just gonna say that because you have aftermarket parts that it's gonna cost u unless again, if it was caused by that particular part

this might help

 

for instance, i had an evap system leak a little while back. I took it to the dealer with all the mods on there, and they fixed under warranty. If the parts ddint cause the problem, they can't say no to warranty work

 

cool cool, cuz my parents are being all ___ sayin that if i put ne thing on it, that the warranty is voided and plus i got the extended warrenty to so i dont want to pay that 1000 dollars for nothing well thanx for the info guys

 

In the worst case they might use the fact that you have after-market stuff on as a cop-out. Even if the mod didn't 'cause a direct fault.

Example: You install fogs. Later on your radio or some other electrical problem occurs. They might blame it on the fogs due to a short or "bad wiring". Even if it had nothing to do with it.

Just playing devil's advocate here.
