Dealers now logging mods on service paperwork
Was in for a 40k service today and when I went to collect her, the dealer said that they now had to log all the mods on their paperwork. This was an instruction from Subaru.
They had noted that I had pipe work changes under the hood (samco hoses) and that the suspension had been modified.
just thought I'd let you know.

in all honesty so they should.
i can't see that if you have samcos they could reject a claim on the stereo for instance. but fair enough if you put a dawes on they could legimately void the warranty on the turbo/engine.

it might be cos the warrenty companies said that the Subaru was the most exspensive car to own due to warrenty work,
i would say the fuel companies would say that more like
so it might be a way of saying well yes they are but only when they have had mods,
only my thought and hey i know f>>k all

I had a 60k service back today, and there was a comment about a "non genuine back-box" on the receipt!!
they must of missed the "prodrive" stamp on the tail pipe...
I questioned the service guy who said the mechanic believed it was a aftermarket product, i explained it was part of the ppp and he promptly said he'd remove the comment off the system....

Had this before where the bloke who serviced the car put down aftermarket exhaust and brakes on the paperwork. I asked the guy on the desk to redo all the paperwork or I wouldn't be back.
