Just need to get a list going on my friends behalf of people who's caps WERE NOT installed by the when their SC was put on. If possible send pics if you can't post it email it to me. We need to get him as much support as possible cuz the dealership locally has him bent over, but he's not grabbin his cheeks, YET... Keyword yet...

 

well, yes and no... yes they installed the tamper proof cap, but it look like they beat it on there because the cap looks as if it has been tampered with... (its all cracked and broken...) i need to bring it back to them... wonder what'd they say... this dealershiop ive gone to blows...

 

bunny, go to longo or cabe. they'll take care of you.

 

im beginning to think that half the dealerships jacked it up putting it on or just plain forgot to

 

So, ummm, let me see here...it went from needing a tamper proof cap because your bud put on a ZPI pulley and then you found out that a few techs MAY have forgotten to put the caps on, so now you are going to get a list of these people and maybe throw the old pulley on and claim Toyota forgot to put it on?

Nice...

 

by manual it should be heated up

 

No cap, but I am going in this week to request one be put on.

 

You have to heat it real good with a heat gun, then press it into the socket. It warps easy, mine ended up with my thumb print instead of a trd logo hahaha!

 

thumb print... at least its unique! longo is too far from me... and orange county dealers any good for service? anyhow, i brought it to them today, they ordered another cap and will give to me tomorrow... so they didnt give me any hassles this time... : )

 

nope didnt get mine put on either...

 

take it to north county toyota, theyre very good and stand by their work.

 

mine wasnt installed..

Why would I need it again?

-S

 

^^ They're supposed to put it on so if you end up changing something and "tamper" with the cap, they'll know and then can deny warranty work if necessary because you changed something.

 

so then if they didnt put it on.. wouldnt you just take it back to the same dealer when/if you need service..

I am certainly not going to go ask them to put it on what if I want to change the pulley .. then i have to tamper with it hah!


thanks..

 

mine didn't get put on either. i'm gonna put on the pulley and then go have them put one on for me. they have my box of stuff from when they installed the supercharger, so i'm gonna assume it's in that box of stuff.

 

I think the another thing to do is to start a thread warning people who are going to be getting the SC to look for this. Those who dont know will never look, so if they have issues Toyota will screw them out of warranty. If you are missing yours then you should take it straight to the dealer and mention it before you ever have issues. They are much more likely to put it on then than after something breaks if it does.

For those who have tampered with it, I still stand by my original opinion. You take it off, you leave it off. Tricking them to warranty something that the pulley was replaced on is just as bad as them not warrantying it when they should. You cant expect them to act any more ethically than they do. Yes, I would think it to be a not so great design if you up the boost a couple of psi and it breaks something, but the deal is, they only warranty it with the original pulley, so that should be honored. Not directing this at anyone in particular, but I have just heard a lot of "if it breaks it I will put it back stock and get it warrantied" posts.

 

i still cant find a pict of it.. dont know if mine is on there.. i bought it used.. .and he had a 9lb pulley
